Olympique Marseille have officially confirmed that Franck Ribery will be plying his trade for Bayern Munich next season.
Marseille president Pape Diouf has confirmed the transfer of Frank Ribery to Bayern Munich in a 25 million euro deal.
Believe it or not, the fee is a new Bundesliga record. He will earn 4 million euros per year.
"The transaction will be concluded on Wednesday and Ribery will move to Munich in order to pass the medical and sign his contract on Thursday," Diouf told L'Equipe.
He also spoke about the possibility of Barcelona's Ludovic Giuly joining Marseille as a replacement.
"Giuly to replace Ribery? For the moment it is just a wish from the Barcelona player," he said.
"We have to know under what conditions the deal could be struck.
"I am clarifying today, that we won't waste too much money on salaries. We won't make the same errors as we did after Drogba's transfer."
