Real Madrid chief Mijatovic: We like Ribery

Real Madrid sports chief Pedja Mijatovic admits Olympique Marseille wing ace Franck Ribery is a transfer target.

The France international is expected to quit Marseille in the summer and has some of Europe's biggest clubs courting him, including Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

Mijatovic admitted to Marca yesterday: "I would be lying if I did not say that I liked Ribery."

Real are considering Ribery as a direct replacement for David Beckham, who is on his way to LA Galaxy in the summer.
