Bayern Munich wing ace Franck Ribery insists there is no agreement with Real Madrid about joining them next summer.
He told France Football: "Is there an agreement between Bayern and Real for a transfer next summer? Never, I deny it. That is fake."
"Absolutely nothing has been sorted out so far."
"Bayern officials didn't propose to me any (contract) extension. Maybe we will talk, I have never closed any door."
"My preference is to move to Spain. One day I will play in La Liga."
However, Ribery did admit that he had so far failed to gel with new Bayern head coach Louis van Gaal.
He added: "It's the first time that I haven't really felt close to a coach. There's not much feeling between us at all."
"Our relationship is professional. It was totally different with Ottmar Hitzfeld, for example."
"He was a real joy to work with and the best coach I've known at Bayern."
