Reports from Italy confirmed that Serie A champions Juventus have managed to clinch a deal with Manchester United for Dimitar Berbatov despite the player being on his way to Florence.
The source admitted that the change in direction happened when the Bulgarian landed in Munich to change flights where the news filtered through that the reigning Champions are offering twice the wage offered by the Viola.The 2010/2011 Premier League joint top-scorer has been on the transfer list for sometimes and was touted to leave Old Trafford especially after the arrival of Dutch striker Robin van Persie.
The deal is said to be around €5m, to be paid in two installments in the following two seasons.
The former Tottenham Hotspurs striker joined United in August 2009 for a record breaking fee at that time, but failed to establish himself as a regular player despite his goalscoring exploits in the 2010-2011 season when he finished as the League top-scorer along Carlos Tevez with 21 goals.
