Franck Ribery has revealed there are a number of Spanish and
English clubs keen on his services, but has reiterated his desire
to stay at Marseille until the end of the season.
Speculation is rife he could leave OM in the January transfer
window. But the 23-year-old is intent on helping the Mediterranean
club qualify for next season's Champions League, and has once again
stressed he will make his mind up on his future in the
summer.
"I will stay with Marseille until the end of the season," he said.
we will see what happens. If we make the Champions League, I will
have to ask myself some questions. Even if we don't make it, it
will not be easy to leave Marseille."
When asked about interest from other clubs, he added: "I really
like two championships - the Spanish and the English. Clubs in
these two championships are interested in me and my
displays."
If Real were to sign Ribery, he would be seen as an ideal
replacement for David Beckham, whose future at the Bernabeu is up
in the air.
Ribery is just delighted to be spoken about in the same breath as
the former England captain. He said: "Beckham is a great player, a
star, and I am obviously pleased when people compare Beckham to
Ribery."
