Chelsea hit with £85m Ribery price-tag as Bayern reveal Real scare tactics

Chelsea face a daunting task trying to prise Franck Ribery away from Bayern Munich after the stubborn German giants revealed how they scared off Real Madrid with a world record £85million asking price. Ribery looked certain to follow the summer trail of galacticos to the Bernabeu until Bayern dug their heels in and stunned him, and Real, by naming their price for a player who cost them just £21million two years ago. They insisted Real would have to stump up even more than they paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo and, for good measure, added that the chance to do business was only available for a limited period.
