Ribery could be set to join Spanish giants Real Madrid, according to a report in Madrid.
Marseille's emblematic midfielder Frank Ribery could be set to join Spanish giants Real Madrid, according to a report here Friday.
The France international has been linked with several top clubs in recent weeks but according to Spanish sports daily Marca Real are being targeted by the player's agent.
"Ribery has confirmed that he will leave Marseille and Real Madrid is his number one choice," said the newspaper.
Marca said the 24-year-old's arrival could plug the hole left by the imminent departure of David Beckham, who will leave Real for American club LA Galaxy at the end of the season.
"In the past few days Ribery's agent has met with Real Madrid," added the report.
Reports from Germany recently linked Ribery to Bayern Munich, although that was later denied by the club.

Makes sense. Real ain't going for Galaticos now but switched their sights on talented young players and Ribery fits the catefory. Plus the fact that Becks is leaving, my guess is Ribery is going to sign for Real Madrid.
