Ribery not for sale, say Bayern

"We stand by what we have said," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told Bild newspaper. "We are not prepared to enter any discussions on Ribery no matter how high the offer."

Team manager Uli Hoeness said it would take 150 million euros ($194.7 million) "to even start thinking about it".

"Bayern are obviously one of the biggest and best clubs in the world," he said late last year. "Obviously there are other clubs that would be a dream: Real Madrid and Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United."

"I certainly love Real Madrid because of the great tradition but I feel happy here at Bayern. We will have to wait and see what the future holds."

Manchester City, the world's richest club since being taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group, signed Robinho from Real Madrid in the previous transfer window.
