"Berbatov needs to get through this current phase; it's quite tough for him now. The manager has to make his own choices, but it's not easy for Ferguson either." Another target of Juventus, Nani, talked about his teammate's situation and said, "I won't leave Manchester United." When discussing his own future, Berbatov stated, but the situation now is no longer under his control. If Ferguson plans to clean out a player, he never shows mercy. Despite scoring 21 goals to become the top scorer in the Premier League last season, Berbatov hasn't been happy at Old Trafford. In the past 20 games, the Bulgarian has only started 5 times, and he didn't even make the squad for the Champions League final, with Ferguson preferring Owen, who doesn't play regularly. The BBC reported that Berbatov angrily left Wembley that night, which further cast a shadow over his future at Manchester United.
It is a fixed policy of Juventus management to sign a top striker in the new season. Aguero, Benzema, Tevez are all targets pursued by Marotta. La Repubblica disclosed a new move by the Bianconeri: they plan to offer 15 million euros for Manchester United forward Berbatov, and midfielders Felipe Melo and Moussa Sissoko could also be part of the deal.
La Repubblica also revealed an explosive piece of news: Juventus has already reached a personal agreement with Sanchez, leaving the club only needing to negotiate the transfer fee with Udinese. As for Swiss midfielder Gokhan Inler, the future of Udinese players will become clear this weekend.
La Repubblica reported that Juventus has prepared 15 million euros in cash for Berbatov, a reasonable offer for the 30-year-old Bulgarian. If Manchester United wishes to accept player exchanges, Juventus also plans to propose Sissoko and Felipe Melo as options. After bringing in Pirlo and Pazzienza, and possibly even Inler, the Malian and Brazilian have lost their positions.
