Nowhere to go for Dimitar Berbatov as Tottenham try to force striker's hand

Dimitar Berbatov has been told he must sign a new contract at Spurs if he doesn't secure his dream move from White Hart Lane.

Tottenham have yet to receive a bid - they want £25million - for the Bulgarian international despite interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and Manchester United.

Stay put? Spurs' Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov

Sportsmail online understands that the club have made a new offer to Berbatov worth around £70,000-a-week, which will make him one of their highest earners.

But the 27-year-old is still keen to move to a side playing in the Champions League and has his heart set on a switch to Spain.

Head coach Juande Ramos has already begun planning for life without Berbatov and, with first-choice target Samuel Eto'o likely to prove elusive, the Spaniard is looking at Real Zaragoza striker Diego Milito.
