The player himself, though, believes his ambitions can still be met at Liverpool - though he admits that the prospect of a move abroad in the future cannot be ruled out at this stage in his career.
Owen said: "Will I play abroad? It is impossible to say. If Liverpool win the league every year, there is not any decision to make.
"I am moving into a new house soon and I am not just going to jump up and go. If we are a successful team, then I will always be happy.
"I am very happy at Liverpool. In an ideal situation, Liverpool are going to be challenging for the league next year. That's what I need to do, challenge for the league and to play in the Champions League."
