Bernd Schuster: Franck Ribery Is Already A Real Madrid Player

Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has declared that he believes Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery is a certainty to be a Madrid player next season.

The 26-year-old France international playmaker has long been the subject of speculation regarding a move to the Santiago Bernabeu and Schuster insists it will happen during the summer, claiming that the Bavarian giants will not relinquish the opportunity to cash in on their prize asset a year before his contract with the Bundesliga kingpins ends.

"When a player gets something in his head it ends up happening and Ribery will end up playing for Madrid. Ribery for me is a Real Madrid player, no discussion, for me it is a fact," he is quoted as saying by AS.
