FRENCH playmaker Franck Ribery has extended his Bayern Munich contract until 2015 to end months of speculation about his future, the losing Champions League finalist said yesterday.
"We're delighted we've reached agreement on a contract extension with one of the world's best players," Bayern Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said. "That is a sign of the big goals the team has set for the coming years."
Bayern said the new deal was signed with the 27-year-old before it lost 0-2 in the Champions League final to Inter Milan on Saturday.
The France international, who joined Bayern in 2007 on a four-year deal, missed the match due to suspension after being sent off in the first leg of the semifinal against Lyon.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United had shown interest in the player, who is expected to have a big role for France at the World Cup in South Africa.
