Dimitar Berbatov is heading to Germany, where he will negotiate a contract with Leverkusen's "Bayer" club, as reported by "SkySports".
The forward has rarely made it into the starting lineup this season. Furthermore, in the summer, the Bulgarian, who is also of interest to another German team Bayern Munich and the wealthy Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, will become a free agent.
However, there is still a possibility that the 30-year-old footballer will sign a new one-year contract with Manchester United.
He arrived in England in 2006 from Bayer. At that time, the forward signed with Tottenham Hotspur, and after two seasons, moved to Manchester United. However, this season coach Sir Alex Ferguson has been more inclined to choose Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, and Javier Hernandez.
This season in the Premier League, Berbatov scored six goals in 9 matches, starting in 4 of them.
