Michael Owen must take a ã25,000 (Rs 18 lakh, approx)-a-week pay cut or leave Newcastle.
The 29-year-old England striker's current ã105,000 (Rs 76 lakh, approx)-a-week deal runs out next summer but the new three-year offer is ã80,000 (Rs 58 lakh, approx).
Toon owner Mike Ashley has finally made his move to keep the hitman.
A series of bonuses could boost his weekly wage if he plays in 80 per cent of games.
Owen has had an injury-ravaged spell on Tyneside, starting just over 40 per cent of Premier League games since his ã17million move from Real Madrid in August 2005. |
