French international Franck Ribery is being lined up as a replacement for Brazilian Kaka should he decide to accept the move to Manchester City. The Bayern Munich star is, according to French daily Le Parisien, valued at £35m which would be less than a third of the fee which Kaka is likely to achieve if the deal with Manchester City proceeds.
25-year-old Ribery is said to be keen on a move to the rossoneri, where he could make in excess of £6m a year if a deal does eventuate.
