According to the Daily Mail, Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov has been told that he must sign a new contract at White Hart Lane if he does not secure the move he is seeking.

Tottenham have not yet received any bids for the Bulgarian - on whose head they've placed a £25million price tag - despite apparent interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and Manchester United.

However, the 27-year-old Bulgaria international still hopes to move to a team that will be involved in next season's Champions League, with a transfer to a club in Spain believed to be his preference.

Tottenham's manager, Juande Ramos, is planning his squad-building on the assumption that Berbatov will leave.
