Real Madrid to offer Owen, Samuel for Inter Milan star Adriano

A sensational swap involving Real Madrid striker Michael Owen and Inter Milan star Adriano is being mooted.
 
Adriano's comments that he could quit Inter after the 2006 World Cup has fueled talk that the club's majority shareholder Massimo Moratti is ready to open talks with Real president Florentino Perez.

Real are set to offer Owen and defender Walter Samuel in part-exchange for Adriano, who warned: "Next season I will definitely be wearing the Nerazzurri jersey, but if we don't win anything then I will ask to be sold after the 2006 World Cup."

"A player needs to win important things in his career."

"I'll ask to join a club where I can finally become a Champion."
