The Blues have already brought Ross Turnbull,
Daniel Sturridge
and Yuri Zhirkov
to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Ancelotti has confirmed he remains in the market for additions
and has outlined his plans to bring in a creative player.
Ribery has been strongly linked with a move away from Bayern,
with Real Madrid considered the favourites to land his
signature.
Bayern, though, have remained adamant that Ribery is not for

for these creative players.

think, he will stay in Bayern Munich.
"Madrid can buy Ribery, I know. Not only Ribery, but (Liverpool
midfielder) Alonso as well. I know how many players Madrid can
buy."
