Ribery to decide in ten days
Bayern Munich's star French international midfielder Franck Ribery said on Wednesday he expects to announce within the next ten days whether he will stay with the German giants or join one of their European rivals.
"In one week or in ten days, if certain conversations take place, I will know how things are," Ribery told German broadcaster Sport 1.
The 27-year-old winger is under contract at Bayern until June 30, 2011, but he has delayed signing a contract extension and Munich could sell the Frenchman this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have been linked to Ribery in recent months and the Frenchman says he is '50-50' as to whether he will stay in Munich.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has insisted Ribery will stay at the German giants this summer.
"At the moment, I assume he will stay," Rummenigge told Bild.
"Our goal is still to extend his contract, but if that doesn't happen there is no guarantee we will sell Franck this summer."
