Jul 31, 2009 12:03:03 PM
The Bayern Munich winger watched his side beat Manchester United on penalties to claim the Audi Cup amid reports of a £35 million offer from the Red Devils.
"People talk a lot about my future, but personally I don't want to discuss it," Ribery told L'Equipe.
"Some people are under big pressure, and my future is big trouble for them. It is not troublesome for me though. I am fine."
And the French international appreciates Bayern's determination to hold onto him.
He added: "The Bayern officials don't want me to leave. They are attached to me. They love me.
"I appreciated the fact that they recently defended me after criticism from Mr [Franz] Beckenbauer against me.
"If I ever leave Bayern, I would like to leave on good terms with the club.
"I have always acted like a professional, both on and off the pitch, and I have not changed. I remain the same."
As well as United, Real Madrid and Chelsea have been rumoured to hold an interest in Ribery and will be closely monitoring developments.
