Striker Dimitar Berbatov could leave Tottenham Hotspur in the summer after his agent revealed discussions over a new contract had broken down.

Berbatov, 27, has been linked with big-money moves to Manchester United and Chelsea after his stunning first season in the Premier League when he netted 23 goals in all competitions.

The former Bayer Leverkusen striker still has two years remaining on his existing contract, but Spurs officials decided to sit down with his representatives earlier in the year to thrash out a new long-term deal.

However, the player's agent, Emil Dantchev, has revealed that negotiations over that deal have broken down and hinted that his client is ready to quit White Hart Lane.

"His future will be decided in the next couple of months," he told the Evening Standard. "We have twice given up talks about Berbatov's new contract and this is due to the fact that Tottenham are unwilling to fix his transfer price.

"He is 27-years-old and he needs to win trophies. It is time he was transferred to a club that regularly plays in the Champions League.

"There are seven to eight clubs in Europe interested and we know them well."
