Levante table optimistic Shearer bid

[saafend_seagull]

Ambitious Spanish Primera Liga newcomers Levante claim to have offered Newcastle skipper Alan Shearer an attractive two-year deal.

President Pedro Villaroel has targeted the former England striker, who is planning to retire from playing at the end of the coming Premiership season.

Villaroel confirmed the newly-promoted side were interested in attracting Shearer to the Valencia-based club on a two-year contract.

"He has an offer for two seasons with us and his arrival is by no means impossible," said Villaroel.

The recent arrival of Patrick Kluivert at St James' Park from Barcelona, coupled with uncertainty over the future of manager Sir Bobby Robson, has led to increased speculation around Shearer.

Levante have already signed Leeds' Republic of Ireland full-back Ian Harte and claim they have also reached an agreement with Manchester United to take striker Diego Forlan on loan, although United deny this.


Surely cant happen?

I'm sure he would rather fancy a couple of seasons down here on the Sussex coast! I'll keep on dreaming..........

I'll be very surprised if Shearer leaves Newcastle. This is his last season before retirement. Maybe he'll see out his last year at Newcastle and then postpone retirement and join another club next year. But I always thought he was the type of player who wanted to retire on a high rather than do a Les Ferdinand and try and keep playing forever.

He is worth that if not more, if you can keep him fit. Was the real crown jewel when they had Cole, Lampard and Carrick, he was the holding one.

Am surprised the Hammers have turned the bid down as they are reportedly paying him in the region of 30k a week and must want him off the wage bill.

Shearer is getting paid too much by Sky to bother with playing in the Spanish league isn't he??
