"Fiorentina have agreed personal terms with Dimitar andthey'll announce the deal very soon," the source, who asked not to beidentified, said, adding the transfer was subject to Berbatov passing amedical.Berbatov, who became United's most expensive player when he joinedfrom Tottenham Hotspur in 2008 for £30.75 million, had reached anagreement with the Serie A club on a two-year contract with an optionfor a further year.
The 31-year-old was the Premier League joint-top scorer in the2010-11 season with 20 goals but has struggled to hold down a place inAlex Ferguson's starting line-up since and was keen to revive his careerin another top European league.Ferguson made it clear it was probably time for Berbatov, who isBulgaria's all-time leading scorer with 48 goals, to look for a movewhen he signed Dutch striker Robin Van Persie from Arsenal prior to thestart of the Premier League season.
If the deal is completed, Berbatov will become the fourth Bulgarianin Serie A after defender Nikolay Iliev and strikers Hristo Stoichkovand Valeri Bojinov, who played for Fiorentina between 2005 and 2007.Football experts in Bulgaria believe the transfer could also lead to Berbatov ending his self-imposed international exile.
Earlier this year, Berbatov, who quit the national team in 2010, saidhe would be open to an approach from coach Luboslav Penev after hemoved to a club where he could play regularly.
