Premiership club Newcastle and German squad Borusia Dortmund are among the teams reportedly interested in bidding for Bulgaria's Manchester United star, Dimitar Berbatov.

Newcastle is ready to pay some GBP 7.5 M for the prolific forward, The Sun reports. Berbatov grew up supporting Newcastle and is said to be a huge fan of the club's legend Alan Shearer.

Borussia Dortmund's interest has been reported by Manchester Evening News.

Juventus, Roma, Bayern Munich and his former club Tottenham are also said to be ready to offer the 30-year-old an escape route from his current tough situation in the team, even though he has stated on multiple occasion he wants to end his career at Old Trafford.

The Bulgarian international is still smarting after being left out of Manchester United's Champions League final squad.

United's manager Sir Alex Ferguson, initally a staunch supporter of Berbatov, who was transferred for GBP 30 M from Tottenham in 2009, said Berbatov is too slow a player for a game that fast, thus substantiating his choice to keep Wayne Rooney among the reserves in his stead. The Bulgarian has not been often on the pitch recently, which has triggered rumors that he will be sold during the summer transfer window.

The striker just ended his best season with Manchester United and with Premiership's "golden boot" title. With 20 goals, Berbatov ended up tied with Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.
