Fri 18 Apr, 12:09 AM


Tottenham manager Juande Ramos feels the matter of Dimitar Berbatov's future is a decision "for the club".

The Bulgarian's agent Emil Dantchev has claimed his client may want to leave White Hart Lane for a team in the Champions League in the summer.

Dantchev also revealed "seven or eight" clubs are interested in signing the 27-year-old, who has two years left on his Tottenham contract.

When quizzed on the latest developments concerning Berbatov, Ramos outlined his happiness at having the forward in his squad.

"Right now, we've got that player with us at the moment," said Ramos on Sky Sports News.

"I intend to enjoy having him and I'm delighted to have him here.

"As far as any future is concerned, that's a decision for the club."

Earlier, Dantchev told the Evening Standard: "His future will be decided in the next couple of months.

"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 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."
