Chelsea have been stunned by Franck Ribery's admission that he wants a move to Spain.

Ribery has delivered a crushing snub to Chelsea by insisting he will move to Spain if he leaves Bayern Munich this summer.

"If I decide not to accept Bayern's offer of an extension, then certainly I'll be going to Spain," Ribery told Sport Bild magazine.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is understood to be a huge admirer of the former Marseille star and would have been prepared to bankroll a British-record bid, but Ribery's wife appears to have scuppered the move.
