Upon facing Brazil on July 1, 2006, Ribéry was substituted in the 75th minute of the 1-0 victory following an impressive performance.He also played in the World Cup final defeat to Italy where he went close with a low shot in the first half of extra-time.
After a much-praised performance throughout the tournament, Ribéry was consequently linked with a possible move to Arsenal F.C., Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Internazionale or Olympique Lyonnais. However, he stated in July 2006 that he plans on seeing out the next four years at Marseille. In a confusing turn of events, shortly after making this statement, Ribéry claimed during an interview for french top channel TF1 that he had changed his mind and will eventually quit Olympique de Marseille. Marseille's president has since specifically denied that any offer for Ribéry has been made to Marseille by any club whatsoever. In particular, Ribéry has been strongly linked to Arsenal, with rumours circulating in October 2006 that Marseille have already reached an agreement with the English club for the player. This has been denied by the Marseille sporting director, who however, for the first time confirmed there was interest from Arsenal for Ribéry, but said that OM would not sell their best players because the management intended "to claim a place in the Champions League".
Ribéry is a Muslim, having converted to Islam around the time he married his Muslim fiance Wahiba Belhami who is of Algerian descent (originally from Nedroma, Tlemcen). Ribéry has adopted the Arabic name Bilal. They have one daughter together, Hizya, who was born on July 18, 2005.

I hope Marseille, because i'm a Marseille's fan, but I think I'm dreaming :D (unless Olympic Marseille arrives to be qualified to the next Champion's League).
Seriously, there are a lot of clubs that want him : Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus Turin.... I think he will play on Spain or England.

Is it said this week by Marca he will replace Beckham at Madrid, but Arsene Wenger wants him at Arsenal next season, and he is good friends with Titi Henry.

I hope he goes to Arsenal, even with all the young talent we have i still think we still need some big stars. We cant always rely on Wenger picking out future talent (even though his track record is excellent) we need some ready made talent.

some human beings want to vandalize Wikipedia articles and then call interest to what they have completed. human beings want to examine, play chess, deliver jointly stamps, return and forth, or the different form of activities. no longer absolutely everyone occupies their time the comparable way. thank you for illustrating that factor.
