crucially -- a sample medical report as counter evidence to the growing belief that a series of injuries have taken their toll.
To those outside of the game, it might not seem an unreasonable marketing technique.
Football operates in a different way to other industries, though, and the usual job of an agent is to make it known their client is available in more subtle ways.
Making such an obvious sales pitch as producing a brochure reeks of desperation -- and that's never a good image to project.
But the plain fact is Owen has baggage.
Not the kind of baggage that comes from being regularly being photographed falling down outside nightclubs -- Owen's reputation is quite the opposite.
No, the concern is that injuries have taken their toll and as a result, the the striker may have lost his hunger, preferring instead to spend time at his horse racing stables.
On the credit side, Owen's CV is imprinted on the mind of everyone in the game.
Boy wonder at Liverpool, Galactico at Real Madrid and, for the last four years, a regular in the St James's Park treatment room where he collected a salary of around £110,000 per week.
And everyone is also aware he would be willing to take a 50% cut in wages.
Yet so far only Hull City have gone public and admitted they would like to sign the striker who has not yet given up hope of making the England squad at next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.
That's Hull City, the club that have just completed their first ever season in the Premier League and only survived by the skin if their teeth on the final day of the campaign.
Unsurprisingly, the Tigers were not one of the clubs on the mailing list compiled by Owen's people.
But their offer of a modest £40,000 basic per week plus £20,00 per game and £10,000 per goal confirms the kind of marketplace the forward is being traded in these days.
"We're interested in Michael Owen on the right terms," said Paul Duffen, the Hull chairman. "He's a fantastic footballer. He's had a few injury problems, but we would have to be interested in him.
"If the right deal can be done then we would definitely be keen to sign him. We are an ambitious football club and we want to show that.
"It would be an enormous move for us, but the deal can be done if it is on the right terms."
One time, such comments would be viewed as an attention-seeking stunt by the chairman of a small club keen to drum up season-ticket sales.
But unless someone else -- most likely Everton, the club he supported as a boy -- come in with another offer, Owen may find alternatives hard to come by.
And the comments of Wigan chairman Dave Whelan this week underlined just how far down the player has fallen in the wish-list of even the smallest Premier League clubs.
Whelan cheekily attempted to take Owen to the JJB Stadium when it became clear Owen would be leaving the Madrid's Bernabeu in August 2005.
The striker eventually moved to Newcastle in a £16m transfer, and was greeted on his arrival in Tyneside by thousands of Geordies eager to hail their new messiah.
But Whelan last week summed up Owen's plight when he revealed he would not consider signing the player this time around.
"One, his wages are too expensive, and two, has he got the urge, the bottle and the drive to do what the Premier League wants?" Whelan said.
"It's a big question. I hope he has because he has been a great player. But I would think he will want to go to a much bigger club than Wigan anyway.
"Michael's wages will come down, but for us to pay someone over even £25,000 a week is a hell of a lot of money."
Not for the first time, Owen's decision to quit Liverpool for the lure of Madrid in 2004 looks ill-advised.
Frustrated at the Reds decline under Gerard Houllier, the striker left at the start of Rafel Benitez's first season in charge, tempted by the prospect of success in Spain.
Twelve months on, he sat and watched as his former team-mates beat AC Milan in the most dramatic Champions League final in history while he contemplated a frustrating year at Madrid where he spent too much time on the bench.
Then came the move to Newcastle where a broken metatarsal wrecked his preparations for the 2006 World Cup finals -- and it was in Germany that he suffered the crippling knee injury which kept him out for a year and continues to cast a shadow over his career.
His next move is crucial, although it is unlikely to be to Hull.
Instead, Owen will almost certainly find himself at another mid-ranking club, battling desperately to remind us all of the talents that once made him the most exciting young player on the planet.
He certainly has the ability to provide another twist in the tale. And if mind and body stay strong, someone could end up being one of the shrewdest signings of the summer.
