Real chief wants Owen to stay

Real Madrid's sporting director Arrigo Sacchi insists he wants Michael Owen to stay at the club despite mounting speculation over a return to the Premiership.

Owen admitted last week he had held brief talks with a number of top English clubs following Real's double summer swoop for strikers Robinho and Julio Baptista.

But Sacchi told Madrid sports paper AS: "I hope he stays here because he will have the respect of the whole club as he is a fantastic person. On Sunday I congratulated him on his professionalism. He did everything to perfection."
