Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson warned off PSG in their Berbatov chase – English Premier League
PSG’s sporting director and the former Brazilian international footballer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 has recently revealed to the media that Paris Saint Germaine were genuinely interested in signing the Bulgarian striker. PSG have seen a heavy
influx of financial investment this summer as they were bought by an Arab millionaire much like Manchester City earlier on in the decade. The French league outfit have already heavily invested in players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 who was bought by the former French
league winners from Palermo in Serie A.
A lot of clubs were battling against each other for the Argentine playmaker’s signature but PSG tipped the scale in their balance by offering him an incredibly lucrative deal. The French giants also needed a striker to add to
their squad for the new Ligue 1 season and they had http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 on their radar but Sir Alex Ferguson fended off interest from the French club side as he retained Berbatov’s signature.
The Bulgarian striker was the top scorer in the English Premier League last season when Manchester United won their 19th English league title under Sir Alex. However he was left out of United’s squad altogether for
their UEFA Champions League final defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. Berbatov is also now in the last year of his contract with Manchester United which means that if he is not offered a renewed deal, he will most probably leave the Red Devils on a free transfer at the end
of the 2011-2012 Premier League season.
Moreover, Dimitar has not started a single game for Manchester United in the new league season as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Welbeck has been preferred to the veteran goal scorer. Sir Alex started with Welbeck in United’s 3-2 win over Manchester City
in the Community Shield and the Scotsman retained Welbeck in the starting line up at the Hawthorns stadium on the opening weekend of the English Premier League as well.
The future looks grim for Berbatov at Old Trafford but over a course of the lengthy season, there is no doubt that the Bulgarian target man will get his chance to impress for United. On the other hand, Paris Saint Germaine will
look to win their domestic league by dominating the likes of Lyon and Marseille and their star studded squad will assist in this adventure.
Leonardo who was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan’s manager last season is now a Sporting director at PSG, he was the one who handled the Berbatov transfer affair as he stated, "I had Ferguson on the phone but he told me that he was counting on Berbatov
and that he was not for sale”.
