Real Madrid Do Not Have Enough Money To Buy Ribery - Franz Beckenbauer

Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer has claimed that Real Madrid don't have enough money to buy Franck Ribery.

The Spanish club have already made four signings this summer and have spent nearly €200 million in doing so.

It seems that Florentino Perez is not about to stop now, though, and he said yesterday that he still wants to bring in two more players.

Ribery appears to be one of those Madrid are keen on and amidst intense speculation that he will leave Bayern, the Frenchman missed training yesterday.

His future at the club now looks to be more in doubt than ever and Beckenbauer did not guarantee he will stay, but simply said finances could be a problem for Madrid.

"I cannot imagine that, after the signings last week, Madrid still have enough money left to pay for Ribery," the president told Bild.

Perhaps worryingly for Bayern, though, the Spanish giants are not showing any signs of slowing down and still seem to be targetting top players like Ribery.

Developments in the next few days with regards to training and Ribery's participation could well show where he wants to be next season.
