Bayern slap £50m tag on Ribery after winger admits he'd love to play for United or Chelsea
Thinking of England: Franck Ribery has admitted it would be 'a dream' to play for Manchester United or Chelsea.
Manchester United and Chelsea have been warned they will have to come up with more than £50million if they want to sign France star Franck Ribery.
The Bayern Munich winger revealed earlier this week that it would be a dream to play at Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford, but his club are determined to hold on to the 25-year-old.
Bayern hope their high valuation will also put off interest from Real Madrid, who were eyeing Ribery as a cheaper alternative to trying to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
Madrid are determined to land a wide player, with Ashley Young (Aston Villa), Jermaine Pennant (Liverpool), Luis Antonio Valencia (Wigan) and Andrei Arshavin (Zenit St Petersburg) all being considered.
The Spanish champions are also set to battle with Barcelona for the signature of Atletico Madrid star Sergio Aguero, though are resigned to waiting till next summer for the Argentina striker and Ribery.
Bayern are under no financial pressure to sell and Ribery is happy for now in Germany with his £80,000 a week contract. But the former Marseille star admits he wants to play for a top club in England or Spain at some point in his career.
'Bayern are obviously one of the biggest and best clubs in the world,' he told Germany's Kicker magazine.' Obviously there are other clubs who would be a dream: Real Madrid and Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United.
'I certainly love Real Madrid because of their great tradition, but I feel happy here at Bayern. We will have to wait and see what the future holds.'
