Franck Ribery To Join Chelsea?

Chelsea could make an offer to purchased Franck Ribery this week according to speculation in today’s press. However, bookmakers still believe the French winger will be staying put at Bayern Munich this season.

Paddy Power and SkyBet are betting on where Franck Ribery will be when the transfer window closes and there are some generous odds available about Chelsea if reports in today’s papers are to be believed. Paddy Power have already cut the odds of Chelsea signing Ribery to 6/1 but SkyBet are still offering 12/1 which looks far too big given the strength of the reports. Those odds are sure to be cut.

Bayern Munich are still favourites to keep hold of Ribery, they can be backed at 1/2 with Paddy Power and 2/5 with SkyBet to still have their prized asset when the summer transfer window closes. Bayern Munich are looking for a massive fee and that is thought to have put off Real Madrid who are now 3/1 with Paddy Power and 11/4 with SkyBet to sign the wing wizard.

According to SkyBet, who are offering the 12/1 on Ribery joining Chelsea, Barcelona and Liverpool hold the same sort of chance as the Blues of signing Ribery. All three clubs are 12/1 with SkyBet. Man Utd are next best at 16/1 with Paddy Power. To find out what other clubs are interested in Ribery, and their chances of signing him, visit either Paddy Power or SkyBet websites.

Franck Ribery Betting

Until now, Liverpool has not been one of those clubs begging for Ribery’s signature. his own stated preferred destination, though a clutch of Europe’s biggest clubs have been reportedly interested at one stage or another. However, SkyBet have announced a cut on the odds of Ribery moving to Anfield.

“Every price we have put up has been taken on Ribery moving to Liverpool, which has left us stumped as in recent weeks he has been liked with every other club but the Reds! After seeing money for him to join Man United and Real Madrid at the same time that Bayern Munich say he’s going nowhere, we’ve now seen a flood of bets on him to join Liverpool,” SkyBet’s Dale Tempest said.
