Berbatov’s move depends on Eto’o

Samuel Eto’o has been targeted by Real Madrid recently, but the Cameroonian’s work at Camp Nou is not done yet. According to a report in The Sun, the Barcelona forward could hold the key to the future of Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov.

The Bulgarian is targeted by Manchester United, but following Levy’s public spat with Ferguson last week, Tottenham are thought to be unwilling to let Berbatov go to Old Trafford. Instead they are willing to take a £5 million loss and stand by their principles; Barcelona and AC Milan are also interested.

AC Milan are trying to sign Eto’o, but should they fail to land him, they will turn to Berbatov, according to the same report. Barcelona, meanwhile, will only move for Berbatov if Eto’o will leave the club.

Both AC Milan and Barcelona could sign the player for £25 million; the asking price set for Manchester United is thought to be much higher – around £30 million.
