Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is not impressed with the speculation regarding the futures of star players Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, and has made it clear that both will be at the Allianz Arena next season.
A number of recent reports hinted that Netherlands international Robben and France winger Ribery could leave this summer if the club fails to qualify for next year's Champions League.
Rummenigge refuted such suggestions, and was quoted as saying by TZ: "I can guarantee that both Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery will stay. But not just these two. We will not sell any first-team players this summer.
"We will be active during the summer transfer window even if we don't qualify for the Champions League. Transfer decisions do not depend on that. We played in the Uefa Cup in 2007 but we still signed Ribery, Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose."
Bayern currently sit fourth in the Bundesliga table, trailing third-placed Hannover by one point.
