Soccer:Roberto Martinez has been "made an offer" by Liverpool's American owners according to his Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan.

Martinez flew to Miami after holidaying in Barbados to meet Liverpool's principle owner John Henry and, according to Whelan, is set for a second meeting on Tuesday.

“He had a very constructive meeting. They made an offer and he has agreed to consider it,” said Whelan.

Whelan questioned whether his manager would accept the job should he be asked to work under a sporting director and not have full control at the club.

Liverpool sacked director of football Damien Comolli in April and former Bayern Munich and Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal has been linked by British media with the vacant position.

“I am still not convinced it is a foregone conclusion, because they put their points on the table and Roberto put his," added Whelan.

“He listened to their points, but I think they also listened to his and I think they are coming to terms with the way English football is run.

“Roberto wants control over football matters and that includes transfers, and if they agree to that, then I can see him becoming the Liverpool manager.

“If they agree to let Roberto take responsibility for the transfers than I think he will go there and I can see that Liverpool have set their sights on him.”
