Bayern try to keep Ribery
The Bayern Munich sporting director Christian Nerlinger believes the club can convince Franck Ribéry to stay by matching his lofty ambitions. Nerlinger is convinced he can lure top players to the Allianz Arena to build a team around Ribéry.

Ribéry has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United in recent weeks as a replacement for Real Madrid bound Cristiano Ronaldo.
Dzeko staying at Wolfsburg
The Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko, who is reportedly a transfer target for Milan and Arsenal, has revealed he is staying at the Volkswagen Arena next season, but against his will. "I am staying at Wolfsburg," the 23-year-old forward said, "but I am not happy. I would like to join Milan, but I am tied to a contract and the club have decided not to release me."
