Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness
says £45million would not buy one of Franck Ribery's legs following
reports Chelsea are willing to pay that amount for the
Frenchman.
Hoeness revealed earlier this week that
Manchester United had made a tentative enquiry, should Cristiano
Ronaldo leave Old Trafford, while Barcelona and Real Madrid have
also been linked with bids.
However, Hoeness has warned that, if Ribery asks to leave
Allianz Arena, his new club will have to smash the world record fee
for a footballer.
"If a player comes to ask for a transfer, we will listen to him
and consider his appeal," Hoeness told Bild.
"However, no one has been in touch with us yet, and I can only
insist I will not answer the phone if there are clubs willing to
make such bids.
"You will not even get a leg of Ribery for £45m."
One of Ribery's agents Jean-Pierre Bernes said: "I am not making
a statement on wage demands, I do not want to make any statement on
Franck Ribery's future."
