England striker Michael Owen agreed to sign a four-year contract to join Newcastle United, ending his time at Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old Footballer passed his medical and completes his move on Wednesday for a fee of more than $27.11 million.
He would have preferred to return to his former club but Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez appeared reluctant to buy him back.
Owen joined Real last August after eight seasons at Liverpool in which he scored 158 goals in 297 matches, and was named European Footballer of the Year in 2001.
