Bayern Munich boss Louis van Gaal is not sure where star man Franck Ribery will be plying his trade next season.

The France international helped his side squeeze through to the Champions League quarter-finals on away goals.

Although the Bavarians lost 3-2 on the night, it was Arjen Robben's strike that proved to be crucial and, despite their passage to the next stage, their Dutch tactician believes Ribery's future may lie elsewhere.

"If I look at him doing everything to be fit for the game against Fiorentina, then I think he will stay," van Gaal said.

"If I then read the newspapers I think he won't stay. It is difficult. If he wants to go we should sell him now, because it brings in money and is good for Bayern."

Ribery added: "It was very important for us to go through. We knew that it was not going to be an easy game and the weather didn't help us either, particularly in the first half when it was very tough.

"We showed a great team performance with a lot of solidarity. As a team, together we can achieve a lot."
