City to bid £65million for Ribery
Premier League big spenders Manchester City are mulling over making a stunning bid for Bayern Munich's unsettled star Franck Ribery.
The Eastlands outfit have already splashed some £315m in 20 months on new players - including a British record transfer fee of £32.5million for former Real Madrid star Robinho.
Despite their immense spending spree, Mark Hughes is, according to The Sun newspaper, ready to smash that landmark deal in an attempt to land Ribery, despite Bayern insisting that they want their France international to stay in Germany.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently claimed that Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona had all made offers for the playmaker in the past.
Rumours of a rift between Ribery and new Bayern coach Louis van Gaal have only added to the speculation with Ribery saying: "It is important that you have faith in the coach, but with him (Van Gaal) it is complicated.
"This is the first time that my contact with a coach is not positive. There's not much feeling between us."
Bayern have won just three of their opening eight Bundesliga games and currently lie eighth in the table with twelve points.
