Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is confident striker Dimitar Berbatov will sign from Tottenham Hotspur before the start of next season.
Barcelona are also in for the Bulgarian , having given up on their pursuit of Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor, but Fergie remains bullish.
"We have made Tottenham an offer on Berbatov and we have good expectations that this deal will go through," said the Manchester United manager.
"Berbatov has been impressive for a long time and he would be a great addition to our attack."
Tottenham appear resigned to losing the 27-year-old who has been a huge success since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2006 but would want a fee of around £25m.
"I think time will work for us more than against us," Ferguson said. "We will not stress this situation. We are hoping to have a constructive conversation with Tottenham in the near future."
