German sources have made Real Madrid favourites for Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery.

This week Bayern supremo Uli Hoeness admitted they would have to sell the Frenchman if he failed to commit to new terms before the end of the season.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona have all been linked with Ribery this term.

But Bild says Real are ready to splash out in June with an offer of £50 million for the wing ace.
