Bayern Munich supremo Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admits Franck Ribery came close to joining Chelsea in the past.
BILD says in 2010, Chelsea were prepared to offer €65 million plus Jose Bosingwa for the Frenchman.
Ribery was unsettled at the time as he failed to see eye-to-eye with then Bayern coach Louis van Gaal.
Rummenigge recalled: "We had a great proposal from Chelsea, there was a lot of interest also from Real Madrid.
"But the offer was not accepted. We do not sell our best players."
