DAVID BECKHAM could be playing alongside Michael Owen in Spain next summer following Real Madrid's amazing bust-up with Raul.
Real president Florentino Perez has made Liverpool striker Owen a £30million target.
Raul is understood to have threatened to quit the club on Sunday night during the blazing row which cost coach Vicente Del Bosque and captain Fernando Hierro their jobs.
And Perez told the Spain hitman: "If you want to leave then you can go tomorrow if a club pays even half your get-out clause - and I'll just go and replace you with Michael Owen."
Owen, 23, featured on a shortlist drawn up by Perez before he opted to sign Beckham from Manchester United for £25m. Thierry Henry was also in the frame.
And Real made it clear during negotiations with the SFX agency which Becks and Owen share that they admire the Liverpool idol.
Perez believes Owen can be persuaded to move before the start of Euro 2004.
Raul was furious the Becks deal was announced in the lead-up to Real's final game, which they won to claim the Spanish title. Then there was a post-match flare-up with the club's sporting director Jorge Valdano, when Hierro was blamed for the players doing only one lap of honour.
Raul, who is close to Hierro, is also understood to have argued with Perez because he did not want to attend a civic reception the next day.
Perez justified his sackings by saying: "A new stage in our development has arrived and we need younger, fitter and more modern players and coaches here."
Raul, 26 today, has two years left on his contract.
Madrid's media yesterday reported Real had done a 'secret' deal to sell Raul to Manchester United and replace him with Ronaldinho.
But Raul's agent Gines Carvajal insisted: "Raul will see out his contract."
Beckham will fly out on Real Madrid's Far East tour on July 24 and make his debut against the Dragon Team in Beijing on August 2.

He wont go...that is all.
Heh, at least Becks will be free to wear the number 7 shirt.
If Real do ever get rid of Raul and replace him with Owen that'd be the stupidest football decision ever. Owen isn't anywhere near in the same league as Raul.
As good as people say owen is, I don't think he can replace Raul. I would love to see Raul at Manchester United though. Then it would probably be Manchester United or Raul Madrid for the champions league unless some pesky italien team somehow beats them. Ronaldo is Real Madrids main striker now so Raul might move but I still feel this is very unlikely.
Owen will never want to go to Real. And Houllier will probably reject the transfer, otherwie he'd have to play Heskey more. £30m buys several strikers, but Owen is the man Liverpool need.
Owen is generally crap, Raul always performs. And the fans on both sides ain't gonna like their star players going.
I wouldn't say Owen is as great a player as Raul, but he's younger, and I don't think he'd fit into Real's tactics, and hge plays well enough at Liverpool. Plus it would be rather annoying to have England's captain and second-choice captain playing at the same Spanish club: It just doesen't work.
And I wouldn't be surprised to see McManaman return to the Premiership, seeing that he plays few games from the start at Real.
But then, anything can happen.

Do not leave Raul, your Brilliant, Michael Owen is rubbish, he's not worth 30 million, he's not going to move anywhere, he's staying at crappy Liverpool. Sorted!!!!
