RIBERY LOOKING FOR A MOVE

Last updated : 31 May 2006 By Editor

Franck Ribery's agent Bruno Heiderscheid has put pressure on Marseille to offer him a new contract. But obviously it's nothing to do with the money just confidence!?

"Franck has never declared he wanted to join Lyon," Heiderscheid told But.

"He never said that he wanted to play for an English club or anyone else.

"Today, there are a few problems with Marseille's chairman but Franck doesn't declare anything. We want calm.

"I brought Franck Ribery to l'OM for free and now I don't feel there is a just recognition. To the contrary.

"It has nothing to do with Franck's contract and salary. It is not a matter of money. It is mutual confidence that we want.

"Jean Fernandez's departure makes Franck sad. He is very affected. This element makes him think but this departure doesn't change all the situation.

"Franck isn't here to choose the coach - it would be pretentious to say so. There is a contract but the situation isn't good with the chairman.

"I hope he will change his mind but, today, he refuses to speak with us. He is too rigid. There are lots of troubles around l'OM and that is the main problem."
