Ribery on wish list Rosell

Madrid sports tabloid As claims that Bayern Munich attacker Franck Ribéry (26), who last May would have rejected an offer by Barcelona president Joan Laporta, could play a part in the upcoming elections as presidential candidate Sandro Rosell would have the Frenchman on his wish list.

Rosell would be interested in Ribéry for many reasons, among which the facts that the player would fit Barcelona's playing style, that he's one of the few top players available on the market, that the former sports vice-president has good contacts with executives of Ribéry's sponsor Nike and that Real Madrid is also interested in him which could win Rosell extra votes if he succeeds to sign the player.

Bayern Munich would reportedly want to organize a bid race between the two Spanish clubs, Chelsea and Inter Milan, while the player is said to have reached a verbal agreement with Madrid president Florentino Pérez last August.

  1. I think it will be good to create a blog account:

    Barcelonaelections2010.blogspot.com

    And redirect it to this blog. I just visited that URL by mistake after deleting my browser History last night. Then I noticed my sin :)

    Not sure if it is happening more often though.

  3. Yes, anonymous, it's better to sign Henrique, Keirrison, Martin Caceres and Chygrynsky, isn't it?
