09 May “Why not?”: Bayern Munich superstar refuses to rule out A-League move

Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery has refused to rule out a shock move to A-League club Western Sydney Wanderers.

Ribery, 36, will depart Bayern at the end of the season after a trophy-laden 12-year spell with the Bundesliga champions.

The French winger confirmed his intention to extend his career by another one or two years by joining a new club.

Speaking at a recent press conference, Ribery was quizzed about the possibility of joining former Germany and Bayern defender Markus Babbel at the Wanderers.

"You know that I played football because of the fun and to enjoy it," Ribery told reporters.

"I love football.

"If you play well, then you make yourself a great name and the money comes on its own. You earn money for what you did. I do not just play for money.

"But why not? Why should not I move to colleague Babbel? I do not know. There are many options. I'm not sure yet where I'm going. Everything must be right, also because of my family. We are one group – but we are many."

Ribery is expected to attract interest from several clubs as his time in Munich draws to a close.

He could clinch his ninth Bundesliga title with Bayern holding a four-point lead over Borussia Dortmund with three games renaming.

The Wanderers missed the A-League finals finishing the season 16 points outside the top six.
