Dimitar Berbatov's agent has claimed that he has "given up" discussing a new contract for the striker with Tottenham.
"His (Berbatov's) future will be decided in the next couple of months," Emil Dantchev said.
"We have twice given up talks about Berbatov's new contract and this is due to the fact that Tottenham are unwilling to fix Berbatov's transfer price."
Berbatov, who is a target for a host of leading European clubs, has two years remaining on his present deal at White Hart Lane.

Inter, Roma in war of words
Serie A leaders Inter and title rivals Roma are waging a war of words after Nerazzurri coach Roberto Mancini claimed that Francesco Totti should have been red-carded against Udinese last weekend for dissent.
Bruno Conti, Roma's assistant coach, was angered by Mancini's remarks and hit back with some barbed comments. "His ideas are somewhat confused," Conti said. "I think Mancini has far more serious problems with managing his own side as the insults he receives come from his own players."
Conti's outburst infuriated Mancini who replied: "I think that Conti was very rude because there was no need for certain comments."
Palladino quiet on future
Raffaele Palladino was among Juventus's scorers in the 3-0 win over Parma on Wednesday but he still refuses to rule out leaving Turin this summer.
Despite signing a contract extension earlier in the year, Palladino has stated his frustration at a lack of regular first-team football this term.
"It's nice to get a goal during a period when I haven't been playing much," Palladino stated. "Am I unsettled? No, but it's obvious that it is important for a young player to be getting games."
