Bayern Munich have disowned an article in Wednesday's Sport Bild magazine in which president Franz Beckenbauer is quoted saying the sale of Franck Ribery is something they are considering. However, his remarks do not represent the club's official stance.
"There is no such resolution by the advisory board of FC Bayern Munich AG which includes the issue of a sale of the player Franck Ribery," explained the club in an official statement.
"The transfer (sale) of a player does not need the approval of the advisory board, according to the constitution of the FC Bayern Munich AG board of directors.
"The FC Bayern Munich AG board of directors have made the overwhelming resolution that the player Franck Ribery is not for sale."
