ANCELOTTI TO WAGE WAR WITH REAL IN £50M RIBERY CHASE
TARGET: Europe's top clubs are chasing Ribery
CHELSEA are set to test Bayern Munich’s resolve with a £50million bid for Franck Ribery.
The French wing wizard will top new manager Carlo Ancelotti’s priority list when he officially starts work next week.
Ancelotti has been given the go-ahead to wage a bidding war with Real Madrid to try to lure Ribery to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and Ancelotti have identified Ribery – and not Carlos Tevez – as the man they most need to achieve the Premier League and European success they crave.
And despite Bayern’s reluctance to sell, together with the player’s apparent preference for Madrid and the competition from Barcelona and Manchester United, Chelsea are preparing to pull out all the stops to get him.
Even though he has not officially started work yet, Ancelotti has been busy behind the scenes trying to broker a deal.
But the Italian, who has insisted that no AC Milan players will follow him to Chelsea, has so far failed to persuade the German giants to name a price for Ribery.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insisted last night: “Ribery is irreplaceable and is not for sale.”
Chelsea will face competition from Manchester City and Arsenal, who could throw in Nicklas Bendtner as a makeweight in a deal.
