UNSUNG HEROES

Share Franck Ribery has pledged his future to Bayern Munich, insisting he will at least see out the remainder of his current contract.

Several major European clubs have been linked with the France international, although Bayern's valuation of £140million is likely to deter any potential suitors.

And, despite recently admitting to Le Monde that playing for Real Madrid would be a 'dream come true', Ribery is committed to Bayern and plans to remain at the Allianz Arena for the foreseeable future.

"I have a contract and intend on seeing it through," he told Sport Bild.

"Whether it is Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea or Manchester City, I have never said I want to go anywhere."

On whether he would consider extending his current terms which expire in June 2011, he added: "It depends completely on the discussions, which my adviser and the club will conduct, so far there has been no signal from Bayern."
