Dimitar Berbatov's agent claims that he has 'given up' discussing a new contract for the striker with Tottenham.

The Bulgaria international's future at White Hart Lane continues to be debated, with a clutch of leading European sides having been linked with summer bids.

Berbatov has previously stated he is happy at Spurs, while manager Juande Ramos considers interest in the 27-year-old a compliment.

The striker has two years remaining on his present deal, with an option for a further two seasons, but Dantchev insists Berbatov's future is up in the air.

Champions League football is a temptation for Berbatov and Dantchev has hinted that he is looking to secure the gifted forward a move.

"His future will be decided in the next couple of months," Dantchev 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 Berbatov's 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."

However, Tottenham have denied there have been any problems with the striker's contract talks.

A club spokesman told the Evening Standard: "Dimitar still has two years on his contract with an option for another two years and is on one of the best packages at the club."
