According to reports in the press, Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov is in Germany to hold talks with representatives from his former club Bayer Leverkusen. The Manchester United forward, who has been long linked with a move back to Germany, was spotted taking a flight to Frankfurt.
Berbatov has fallen downing the pecking order at United and Leverkusen, whom he left several years back to join Tottenham, are more than happy to take him back. However the Werkself face competition from domestic rivals Bayern Munich, who see Berbatov as a replacement for the outgoing Ivica Olic, as well as cash rich Russian side Anzhi, who have Samuel Eto’o and Roberto Carlos on their roster.
Berbatov has denied wanting to move away from Man Utd, but with his contract due to run out in the summer, a decision is expected to be finalised soon.
