Abramovich ready to fund Chelsea bid for Ribery
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to bid for Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery.
The Daily Mail says Abramovich is an admirer of Ribery and is prepared to back a huge bid for a player he believes can bring a bit of flair to Stamford Bridge.
The departure of Joe Cole, who has angered Abramovich with his wage demands, would heighten the need for a left-sided player as well as freeing up money in the wage budget.
Bayern admit they will be forced to cash in on Ribery if there is no resolution to the imminent contract talks.
The former Marseille star's current deal runs out at the end of next season and the Germans would not be prepared to lose him for nothing.
