Ribery will not leave no matter what - Bayern

"Facts are giving the answer to all of this. Franck is under contract until June 2011 and we are not ready to allow him to leave any earlier than this. No matter what," the Bayern chief told Rheinische Post.

"Franck is happy at our club and is not seeking a transfer away from here."

Ribery has been reportedly linked with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona recently, but the latter seemed to be the closest to snap him up in the summer.

However, Rummenigge insisted that the Primera Liga leaders made no approach for the services of the French ace.

"My friend Joan Laporta (Barcelona chairman) has immediately been in touch with me and Bayern as a club, to make sure that there is no truth in stories linking Franck Ribery with Barcelona," he added.

"Neither the player, nor his agent, nor anyone else has been contacted by Barcelona over a transfer."

Following a magnificent first season at Allianz Arena, Ribery is enjoying another dazzling campaign with the Bundesliga champions this term.
