Rumour is that even though French playmaker Franck Ribery has a contract with the club Bayern Munich, but he is still linked with many major European clubs. The frontrunner among all other clubs is the Real Madrid which is willing to take the player at any cost. Bayern Munich’s president is quite annoyed with the rumours arising one after another and says that there are only two solutions to all these reports. First one being the release of player by the club and second one is that Franck Ribery extends the contract so that there are no chances of transfer. Point to be noted here is that his contract is valid till 2011.

Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid club, who has been elected shortly, expressed his willingness to sign Ribery again in an interview to L’Equip. “It would be a huge satisfaction to have Ribery with us as soon as next season,” Perez said. However he said that he will first talk to his club before any deal. He wanted to tell them that Ribery is their target and wanted to discuss the possibilities of him being transferred to Real Madrid.

Beckenbauer, well known columnist for a newspaper said that Franck Ribery shares the same rating as world’s best players Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He is in favour of renewing the contract of the player with the same club. However the entire decision depends upon the player. If he wants to leave his current club, it will be very difficult for the club members to hold on to him.
