France playmaker Franck Ribéry has indicated he could soon sign a new contract with Bayern Munich.
With Real Madrid believed to be ready to take advantage of a controversial clause in the FIFA statutes which would allow them to sign Ribéry for a sum way below his true market value next summer, when he has completed three years' service for the club, Bayern are keen on tying their star down to a longer deal.
"The club already knows what they want and I have on my side an idea of what could happen," Ribéry said.
"In football things can sometimes happen really quickly. A simple meeting and everything could be decided.
"There have not yet been any meetings but that could happen really quickly."
He added: "I feel loved at Bayern.
"It makes me feel happy that important people at the heart of the club are showing their confidence in me.
"The reaction of the supporters at my return also made me happy. This gives me a lot of strength."
