Man City boss Hughes targets Ribery to replace Robinho

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is lining up Bayern Munich wing ace Franck Ribery as a direct replacement for Robinho.

The 26-year-old is contracted to the Bundesliga club until the summer of 2011 and would cost in excess of £20m - even in the current deflated market.
