Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray S.K. have rubbished reports linking Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov with a £5 million move to the Türk Telekom Arena, the Daily Mail understands.
“There have been some reports in the media that Dimitar Berbatov will be transferred to our club,” read the club’s official statement.
“The club would like to declare that there is no transfer and no attempt has been made in that regard.”
After finishing as the joint top goal scorer in the English Premier League in 2010-11, Berbatov made just five league starts for the Red Devils last term. To state the obvious, the 31-year-old wantaway forward was, as they say, ‘out-of-favour’.
To this day, Berbatov is Manchester United’s record signing after joining the Red Devils for £30.75 million from Tottenham Hotspur in September 2008.
The Bulgarian netted 1o goals and two assists in 24 appearances (14 starts) in all competitions for the Reds in 2011-12.
Premier League newcomers West Ham United and French super club Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with Berbatov in recent weeks.
Now then, will Manchester United cut ties with their record signing this summer?
