One of the leaders of the club, Frank Ribery's agent, stated that his client continues to interest the Madrid leaders who are looking for reinforcements.
For the past few years, many old continent giants have been observing the 23-year-old attacking midfielder who demonstrates excellent form not only in club matches, but also in the national team - including Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and London's Arsenal.
Arsenal, the latter being the club in the capital of England coached by the Frenchman Arsene Wenger, was considered the favorite to acquire F. Ribery, but "Real" seems unwilling to give up. A possible transfer to one of these teams is likely to happen only in the summer, as the footballer does not want to rush.
"Real" contacted me to express their interest in Frank again," said Bruno Heiderscheidas. "However, they have not contacted Marseille's team.
The footballer himself wants to continue playing in Marseille, which is his priority. If he starts thinking about his future, it will not happen before May."
F. Ribery has a contract valid until 2010, so Marseille's "Olympique" can expect a solid compensation, amounting to approximately 22 million euros.
