As Franck Ribery continues to be linked with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal has refused to rule out the possibility of a move for the French international.
Speaking to the Bild Am Sonntag, Van Gaal said, "There are many factors that play an important role, starting with money.
"He is uncomfortable because the speculation affects him a lot. We have spoken about it.
"The rumours are not good for Franck, not good for Bayern, and not good for me."
Bayern have been unrelenting in their bid to hang on to Ribery, and it appears as though only a mammoth offer from Los Merengues will tempt them to sell their star player.
Ribery, however, has made no secret of his desire to leave the Allianz Arena, recently stating that a move to the Bernabeu was all he was thinking of.
