Ribery reveals l'OM agreement
-
Franck Ribery has revealed he has an agreement with Marseille's majority shareholder and other club officials which will allow him to leave at the end of the season.
The French international is being strongly linked with a summer exit from the Stade Velodrome, with clubs across Europe known admirers of the playmaker.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are all strong candidates to sign Ribery, although l'OM have slapped a €20million (£13.5million) price tag on their star.
Ribery is desperate to play UEFA Champions League football next season and the 24-year-old has an agreement with majority shareholder Robert Louis-Dreyfus to let him depart in the summer.
"No club has contacted me directly," Ribery told a French media. "And if my agent or my club has been contacted I don't want to know it before the end of the season.
"I ask my agent not to tell me anything. My priority is to finish the best with Marseille.
"Has Robert Louis-Dreyfus given me his agreement to let me leave in the summer? Yes and the officials did too. I trust them to fulfil their commitment.
"Do I want to leave in June? Very honestly, it will depend on Champions League qualification.
"I also would like to discover new foreign leagues like England or Spain. But you can understand I can't talk a lot about that."
Ribery, who has recently returned from a month out with a broken foot, hopes Marseille will finish in the top three and claim a spot in next season's Champions League.
"We have eight matches remaining and I keep faith for Champions League qualification," he added. "Third position is just a few points away.
"I say it clearly: I want to play in the Champions League, it is my main personal aim." -
