Bulgaria: Russian Billionaires Anzhi Said to Enter Berbatov Chase Manchester United`s Dimitar Berbatov (R) is watched by SL Benfica`s Luisao (L) during Champions League Group C match between Manchester United and Benfica at Old Trafford Manchester, Britain, 22 November 2011. EPA/BGNES

Vastly rich Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala have been the latest bidders linked with Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov.

Anzhi have joined the chase as they seek a strike partner for Cameroon star Samuel Eto'o, according to The Daily Mail.

Bayer Leverkusen, the club that once witnessed Berbatov's raise to prominence, as well as Bayern Munich, are said to be the other two teams eager to snap up the Bulgarian.

Even though Red Devils boss Alex Ferguson has insisted that Berbatov will be offered a one-year extension in March, rumors continue "sending" the striker to various European clubs.

The reports that Berbatov may be on the verge of leaving Old Trafford have been fueled by his alleged recent travel to Germany, as well as the statement on behalf of PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti that he is among the players actively offered by agents on the transfer market.
