Former Bayern Munich manager Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed an interesting fact from his time at the Bundesliga club. According to the German, the then-shining forward Franck Ribery could have become a world record-holder when he was targeted by Real Madrid. However, Bayern said 'no.' "We wanted to send a message to the football world. Real offered 75 million euros, and such a sum would have broken all records at the time. Nevertheless, we demonstrated that Bayern is not a selling club," clarified K.H. Rummenigge. Ribery arrived in Germany in 2007 when he was acquired from Marseille for a then-record 25 million euros. The player spent a total of 12 years within the Bundesliga club.
