view photoBERLIN (AFP) - Bayern Munich have indicated they will not sell French international and midfield star Franck Ribery for any price amid interest from top English and Spanish clubs, German media reports said Saturday.
"No matter how many millions are on the table, at the end of the day it is Bayern who decide and we do not want to sell Franck," chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told newspaper tz.
General manager Uli Hoeness told Bild that Bayern would be hanging onto their man.
"When I hear there is a 125 million euro offer for Brazil's Kaka then I say that Franck's market value is at least 100 million euros," Hoeness said.
"But I do not want to set a price as we want to keep Franck," he added.
British media reports say Chelsea would shell out 50 million euros for the former Marseille star amid earlier reports Manchester United would go up to 70 million.
Real Madrid and European champions Barcelona have also been reported as showing serious interest in Ribery, whose Bayern deal runs to 2011.

bayer munich is smart and they got the best player in the world right now so i think ribery will cost around 70 millions if you want his service though,but i wish bayer munich will keep him one more season coz they got new coach and some good player like gomez...goood luck bayer munich and ribery!
dunno how this one will pan out. Bayern's pretty stuborn about holding on to players and not afraid to let them go for free at the end of contract rather than selling earlier and cashing in. it will take some serious money if this is gonna work...
wait and see if Ronaldo goes to Real (i think Real would do better to but ribery) and for how much then they will set a price i think
