Bayern Munich have reiterated that Franck Ribery is going nowhere this summer because Louis van Gaal wants the Frenchman in his side, amid reports that a deal with Real Madrid will be done.
The Bundesliga club's president, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has insisted that Los Merengues know that there can be no deal as he stated that the Frenchman would not be sold.
Rummenigge firmly believes that Bayern can offer Ribery everything that he wants and that there will be no talks with Real Madrid about a sale this summer.
"Ribery is irreplaceable," the Bayern chief is quoted as saying by L'Equipe. "Real Madrid know our position and he is not for sale.
"It is no surprise that Ribery wants to go to Real — they are a fascinating club and attractive on a financial level.
"But Bayern are not a bad club either. At our club the doors are solid and very resistant and we're not going to push up the bidding.
"Ribery figures among the best players of the world and when you have a player of this quality among the squad you don't separate.
"We want to build around this player who Louis van Gaal absolutely wants under his command."
