Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer says the club must make a quick decision in selling Franck Ribery.

As well as Real Madrid, Ribery has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United, and said: "I will see how my situation is going to develop.

"Honestly, I don't know - my situation isn't easy to deal with," the former Marseille winger said. "I am under contract until 2011 with Bayern, I am fine over there. I'm not someone who likes to clash - I have spent two good years at Bayern.

"We will see how everything turns out."

Beckenbauer said: "So many so-called irreplaceable players have gone yet football has still moved on.

"Obviously it would be a shame, though, and it is hard to imagine Bayern being better without Ribery."
