Dimitar Berbatov has been linked to a move away from Old Trafford to Sevilla in a cut-price deal. The player whom we bought for £30.75m in 2008 could be sold for as little as £12m.
The Bulgarian's contract will run out next summer, and I don't think Sir Alex will be willing to offer him a new one for two reasons:
- The gaffer is looking to revamp his squad
- The phenomenal emergence of Javier Hernandez has seen Berbatov warming the bench too often
In fact, Fergie may cash-on this opportunity given that Berbatov is currently the top scorer in the league. He has scored 22 goals and three hat-tricks, but somehow he has never been well received by Old Trafford fans.
Berbatov has been linked with moves to Germany and Turkey as Bayern Munich and other clubs have shown interest in acquiring his services.
The only thing that seems weird to me is £12m seems way too less for a player who was bought for over £30m.
Will Berbatov leave United for Sevilla - What do you think?
