Franck Ribery might be on the move in January
Chelsea is joining the fight with Real Madrid to sign Bayern Munich’s Franck Ribery in the upcomming January transfer window.
The Blues’ pursuit of Ribery has been given a boost by Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness conceding the player will leave the German club if he does not believe they are ambitious enough.
Chelsea are preparing a British transfer record of around £45million for the French winger.
Sources close to Ribery, 26, claim Chelsea have offered a contract worth £172,000 a week, just under £1m more a year than Spanish side Real Madrid.
According to Daily Star Bayern have revealed that they turned down a £70m bid from Chelsea for Ribery in the summer.
