Potential Bayer in for Dimi
Posted Thursday, December 29, 2011 by The Sun
BAYER LEVERKUSEN admit there has been contact with Manchester United over Dimitar Berbatov.
The striker's representatives also confirmed the talks but a formal bid is yet to be made to take him back to the German club in January.
Berbatov, 30, has started just two league games this season despite being the Premier League's joint top scorer last term with 21 goals.
The Bulgarian spent five years at Leverkusen before moving to Tottenham in 2006 and United in 2008.
His contract is up next summer but United do have an option of extending it by 12 months.
Bayer chief executive Wolfgang Holzhauser said: "I'd even say contact is friendly. But nothing is concrete."
Agent Ivan Dobrinov said: "Bayer is still very dear to him. He has a good relationship with the leadership there."
