Ribéry Has No Thoughts Of Leaving BayernFrance international Franck Ribéry says he's loving life in Germany with Bayern Munich and has no intention of seeking a move elsewhere
The speedy winger moved to the Allianz Arena from Marseille for €25m in the summer.
So impressive have his performances been in Germany's top flight that some of Europe's other top clubs are reportedly lurking, with sums as high as €40m being suggested.
At Bayern To Stay
But Ribéry, who was again outstanding on Saturday as the Münchner beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1, talks about a move are a waste of time.
"I honestly haven't given moving any thought at all," the Frenchman told Die Welt am Sonntag. "I'm concentrating on my career with Bayern. Everyone here is satisfied with me and that's the most important thing."
Impressive Club
Ribéry admits to not being too knowledgable about the Bavarian giants before making the move from Olympique de Marseille, but says he's been truly impressed since joining up nine months ago.
"This really is a super club," he commented. "I had to see it for myself to really experience it. Everything that (fellow Frenchman) Willy Sagnol had told me about it has even been exceeded."
And Ribéry says he's enjoying being both a fan favourite at the Allianz Arena as well as the player most fans of other teams respect and admire. "It does me a lot of good to feel their enthusiasm," he said. "It gives me an incredible amount of self confidence."
More Signings To Follow?
Bayern are seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga now and find themselves in the final of the DFB-Pokal and in the quarters of the UEFA Cup. Talk of the treble is very much alive, but Ribéry is hoping the Rekordmeister can go even further next season by winning the Champions League.
For that, he's hoping Bayern can strengthen even further in the off season. "I'm hoping that another big signing comes in the summer," said the Frenchman. "I know that (sporting director) Uli Hoeneß is making efforts towards signing one player or another. He played his hand well this season, didn't he?" added Ribéry jokingly.
Portsmouth must see off Bayern Munich in Mertesacker battle Harry Redknapp's ambitious plan to install one of Germany's top defenders as long-term successor to Sol Campbell looks like being scuppered by Jurgen Klinsmann.
The Portsmouth boss has been promised funds to try and challenge the established order at the top of the Barclays Premier League and has targeted Werder Bremen's Per Mertesacker as his next big signing.
But Klinsmann knows all about the 23-year old centre-back from his time as Germany's national coach and is widely expected to make him the cornerstone of Bayern Munich's defence next season.
"If it was Liverpool or Manchester United, Per might have given it some thought, but as things stand, he is looking forward to linking up with Klinsmann again," said a source close to the player.
