News has broken in The Transfer Tavern: a French journo reveals that Franck Ribéry could be set to leave Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
Franz Beckenbauer has conceded the French superstar can leave for €94 million, according to our pals at L’Equipe, who also reckon Bayern Munich turned down an €80 million offer from free-spending La Liga outfit Real Madrid for to lure Ribéry to the Bernabeu three weeks ago.
Uli Höeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Bayern’s top officials, have refused to deny Beckenbauer’s claims, having previously insisted the playmaker would not leave the Allianz Arena at any price.
So how much brandy did L’Equipe’s staff have in their coffee this morning to write this? Could this long-running saga finally be resolved, but at a handsome price? Should this rumour Fly or Die?
