Franck Ribery has denied reports he wants to quit Bayern Munich and join Real Madrid although he admitted the German giants have yet to offer him a new deal. The France playmaker was last week quoted in his homeland as saying he wanted to join the Florentino Perez revolution at the Bernabeu but he has since distanced himself from those comments. Ribery has also been linked with Chelsea and Manchester City. He said: 'I have never said that I wanted to go. They were not my words, what I said was misinterpreted. '[I don't understand the whole discussion. I don't want a controversy with Bayern Munich. I would gladly clarify the situation. 'We have to wait and see if there is an offer coming and then sit down and talk. I do not want to say anything wrong right now.' Ribery also denied suggestions today he missed training sessions over the weekend so as not to jeopardise a move by picking up an injury. 'That is a lie,' he said. 'I have a heel problem and also a blister. I want to get back training as soon as possible.'
