Berbatov: Let me go
A close pal of the Bulgarian said: “Dimi’s decided to
put in a transfer request. "He can’t wait to go to Old Trafford and
play for United. “He feels he behaved professionally throughout
this period. "He has never spoken publicly on the situation out of
respect for Tottenham. "But he does not want to miss out on the
start of United’s season and he feels that was his only option
left.”
However, the Lilywhites are reluctant to strengthen
their Premier League rivals and are supposedly entertaining the
option of selling to Barcelona instead.
Berbatov, 27, took action as his move to Old Trafford
has stalled over the transfer fee. Spurs want £30million but United
have offered £20m.
Fergie said last night: “You might be surprised at
what’s going to happen over the next two days.” Tottenham are
thinking of bringing Seville striker Fredi Kanoute back to White
Hart Lane. But they are baulking at a £12m fee for a
30-year-old.
