Munich preparing bid for Berbatov
-
Bayern Munich are ready to pounce on Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov if his contract talks with Manchester United continue to stall, according to reports in Germany.
The 30-year-old's current deal at Old Trafford expires in 2012 but he has yet to sign a new deal over a reported wage dispute.
German giants Bayern are reportedly preparing a £10m summer bid for the Premier League's current top scorer - £20m less than United paid for Berbatov three years ago.
The former Tottenham ace has fallen down the pecking order under Sir Alex Ferguson despite his 20 goals this season, with Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney preferred up front.
The forward had to make do with a place on the bench again on Saturday against Bolton, but came on to score the only goal of the game to give United a vital three points.
Berbatov would not be the only new arrival at the Allianz Arena if he leaves England, with a new manager due in to replace the outgoing Louis van Gaal at the end of the season.
