Paris St Germain are targeting Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov in an £18 million swoop, according to the 'Mirror'.
 
PSG are enjoying a stunning revolution under new Qatari ownership, who are poised to beat Chelsea to the £35 million signing of Palermo's rising star Javier Pastore.
 
Berbatov, 30, has just a year left on his contract after signing for £30 million from Spurs in 2009.
 
Although the likes of Javier Hernandez, Antonio Valencia and Park Ji Sung are set to have new deals confirmed at Old Trafford this week, that will not be the case with Berbatov.

Indeed, the Bulgarian will be left as the only player at United with 12 months left to run on his deal, despite being the joint-top scorer in the Premier League with Carlos Tevez last season.
 
Sir Alex Ferguson did not even have Berbatov on the bench for the Champions League Final - and the player's subsequent reaction, when he watched the match on TV in the dressing room rather in person in the stands - is said to have sealed his fate at the club.
 
PSG are understood to be ready to offer a package worth £18 million to snap him up, after flexing their financial muscle to sign some of the most sought-after talent around in recent weeks, according to the report.
