Bulgaria's football captain Dimitar Berbatov is close to completing a move to Manchester United.
The Telegraph and tabloid Daily Star both reported that Tottenham Hotspur were ready to sell the Bulgarian striker for £28 million to the reigning champions of England.
Manchester United were unwilling to go above £25 million and would wait on Spurs to lower their asking price.
The Red Devils have had their initial offer of £20 million rejected over the weekend, but were content to wait for Spurs to settle for their second offer. The White Hart Lane club might still give manager Juande Ramos the money he needs to make his own signings.
Berbatov has scored 23 goals in each of his two seasons in London since joining from Bayer Leverkusen for £10.9 million in 2006. He has been reported to be eager to leave Tottenham for Champions League football, though most of the quotes in that respect came from his agent Emil Danchev, rather than the player himself.
