Manchester United are preparing an audacious summer move for
Bayern Munich playmaker Franck Ribery. Sir Alex Ferguson has set
his sights on the French international and hopes that the uncertain
situation at the Allianz Arena may aid a move to sign the talented
French international.
Last seasons Bundesliga champions have had a shocking season
that has cost Louis Van Gaal his job and the Old Trafford boss may
feel the conditions are such that the 27 year old may be open to a
move to the Premier League table toppers, and the chances of such a
deal proving successful could be aided if the Bavarian side miss
out on a Champions League spot for next season.
Currently Bayern Munich are in fourth spot, which this term is
not enough to claim a Champions League place and the fact that they
languish 14 points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund has caused much
consternation at the club and led to Van Gaal announcing he would
leave in the summer and veteran boss Jupp Heynckes will take his
post.
Ferguson has tracked Ribery for some time and attempted to land
the skilful flair player when he was at Marseille, however the
winger opted instead for a move to Germany and is now in his fourth
season at Bayern Munich and although he signed a new long term deal
a year ago, it is worth noting that he did so after the club has
secured a domestic double and reached the Champions League final, a
lot has happened since then.
£30m rated winger Ribery can play on either wing and could
definitely add value to Man United’s attacking options not least
with Luis Antonio Valencia only now coming back from long term
injury and with the likes of Gabrial Obertan and Bebe failing to
make any impact whatsoever. There has even been talk that top wide
man Luis Nani is not totally happy with his lot at the club and he
has been targeted by the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus for some
time.
Sir Alex Ferguson has stated his intention to spend this summer
and chief executive David Gill has reaffirmed the financial backing
he will receive to do so and it seems that a few ‘marquee’ signings
have been speculated as possible additions to a Man United squad
that is reportedly set for something of a clear-out.
