Galatasaray in Talks with Berbatov - Report

Turkish giants Galatasaray are in talks with Manchester United's unsettled Dimitar Berbatov, according to media reports.

The Turkish club has been among those most often linked with the Bulgarian striker since it became clear that he is not wanted at Old Trafford.

"We have had discussions with Berbatov's management," Galatasaray vice-president Refik Arkan revealed, as cited by Sportsvibe.

"We want to have a world-class striker. Our president also wants this. Berbatov is one of the possibilities."

Bulgarian news agency BGNES has cited Turkish media saying that Galatasaray and Manchester United are very close to a deal, with the Turkish team demanding that Berbatov's price be dropped by just EUR 500 000.

The Red Devils have allegedly set a EUR 6.5 M price tag on the prolific striker.
