I think the odds are that Berbatov willl be sold this summer, if Levy's asking price is met (but not otherwise). But if so, the money will likely be spent on a new striker (David Villa for example) and one or more players in other positions (e.g. a DM and/or GK) - it won't be used to repay the bank for Modric's fee, because we don't need to do that.
