Fiorentina agrees personal terms with Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov

Fiorentina hope to finalise a £4.5million move for Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov.

Berbatov flew to Italy on Wednesday to complete the move to the Serie A club, a source close to the Bulgarian revealed.

'Fiorentina have agreed personal terms with Dimitar and they'll announce the deal very soon,' the source said, adding the transfer was subject to Berbatov passing a medical.

His agent Emil Dantchev also confirmed: 'His future will be decided over the next few days.'

Berbatov, who became United's most expensive player when he joined from Tottenham Hotspur in 2008 for £30.75m, had reached an agreement with the Serie A club on a two-year contract with an option for a further year.

The 31-year-old was the Premier League's joint-top scorer in the 2010-11 season with 20 goals but has struggled to hold down a place in Sir Alex Ferguson's starting line-up since and was keen to revive his career in another top European league.
