From Skysports:
Reds target Berbatov
by Vlatko Siljanovski - Last Updated 1 Dec 2004

Liverpool have been linked with a January swoop for Bayer Leverkusen striker Dimitar Berbatov.

The Bulgarian international has been mooted as a possible answer to solve The Reds' shortage of proven goalscorers.

The 23-year-old's future at the BayArena is due to be discussed next week after Bayer's clash in the UEFA Champions League against Dynamo Kiev.

The European game is likely to be crucial to any prospect of Liverpool signing Berbatov, as Bayer will not sanction the forward's departure if they reach the knockout phase of the competition.
Berbatov's agent Emil Dantchev is aware of Liverpool's interest in his client and insists the Premiership giants are not new suitors for the hit-man.

"The Liverpool interest is not from yesterday," commented Dantchev.

"Anyway, I have not been informed by Bayer of any offer for my client.

"I have an appointment with the representatives of the club after the Dynamo Kiev match to make a decision on Dimitar's future."

The predatory attacker is trying to ignore the speculation concerning his position with the Bundesliga club, preferring to concentrate on matters on the pitch.

Berbatov said: "I asked my agent not to talk to me about any possible transfer options or interests from other clubs.

Dosn't look like a good shirt name to me !!

Gotta have more mileage than The two Darrens, Purse and Bent though.
