Bayern complete Ribery transfer

France midfielder Franck Ribery has joined German club Bayern Munich on a four-year deal from Marseille.

Bayern will pay an initial £17.6m fee for Ribery, 24, and an extra £2.7m if Bayern qualify for the Champions League at the end of next season.

Marseille chairman Pape Diouf said: "We've helped Franck to get where he is - we're not happy to let him go.

"It's a good financial operation for the club, which proves Marseille can adapt to a market that is not easy."

Ribery, 24, joined Marseille in 2005, but almost left the club last summer after an impressive World Cup.

He has played 18 matches for France, scoring two goals.

Other leading European clubs, including Arsenal and Real Madrid, had also expressed an interest in him.

Shame, I wanted to see him in the Premiership next year. :(

Everytime I seen him play this season he wasn't at his best, let's hope now that his future is settled he can get down to playing like he did at the world cup and before.

Not seen much of him this season, but he was awesome at the World Cup. If he can recapture that form he'll e a good signing for them.

Strange move for him I think.

Bayern didn't even win the Bundesliga and let's face it, they're not going to win much else. I would have thought Premiership clubs to be interested in him... :dunno:

I think your under-estimating them there. They did something right to reach the Champions League quarters*

I'm a big fan of Ribery, hope he gets in the premiership 1 time.

He'll flourish in the Bundesliga, just like Rafael Van Der Vaart, Diego and Johan Micoud have done before him :thumbup:

The French Donkey playing for the most hated club in Germany?

Hope Bayern Munich rots in hell next season and doesn't even qualify for a UEFA Cup spot.

*Please, God*

Frankfurt have awesome fans. Schalke 04 is run by the fans (isn't it?!?). Legendary stuff.

Van der Vaarts struggled this season.

EDIT: Actually so has Ribbery, and most of the Marsielle team early part ot the season to be honest.

I quite enjoy watching Bayern play, I'm not entirely sure why they're the most hated club, I think it has something to do with their transfer policy?

Anyway Toni, Ribery and Klose - great signings.

Was hoping Klose would move to the Premiership as I think he is the best striker in the world, but looks like he will either be moving to Bayern this summer, or seeing out the last year of his contract at Werder.

Bayern Munich are not only the most successful club in Germany, but also the most hated and envied in the country.

They are one of the richest clubs in the world and have had many national players in their squads in the past 35 years. Beckenbauer, Maier, Breitner, "Bomber" Müller, Kohler, Rummenigge, Matthäus, Effenberg, Babbel, Jancker, Zickler, Ballack, Basler or Kahn are or were part of Germany's best.

It's the fact that they buy off the national (and even international) talent and thus weaken the opposition.

As for international players, remember Daei, Papin, Andersson, Laudrup, Lizarazu?

I was glad they didn't do well this season, because Stuttgart's success means you can't just buy a trophy with all the money you have.

In addition, Uli Hoeness and "Kaiser" Beckenbauer are both arrogant twats of the highest degree.

On a sidenote, Bayern is coming to my town for a pre-season friendly.

I might go there and watch them getting battered by my local team. :mrgreen:

He's had problems with discipline, but what I've seen of him, he's still the lynchpin in that hamburg side.
