BAYERN Munich are prepared to sell Franck Ribery back to his former club Marseille this summer.
But only if they can bring in Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez as a replacement this summer.
The Frenchman has played for the German giants for almost a decade, winning seven Bundesliga titles and one Champions League.
He also signed a one-year extension on his contract with the club five just months ago.
But the 34-year-old is beginning to show signs of fatigue, making just 21 league domestic appearances due to several niggling injuries.
And according to , Ribery would be keen on a move back to his native France at the end of the season, where he played for Marseille from 2005 to 2007.
However, further reports suggest Munich will not let their star man leave without a suitable replacement - current Gunner Sanchez.
Despite Arsenal's poor season, the Chilean has netted a career best 23 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this campaign.
As a result, he has become Bayern's top target this summer.
He has been rumoured to be leaving the club following a contract stand-off with boss Arsene Wenger.
And could be persuaded even further should the north London outfit fail to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in Wenger's tenure.
They play Everton at home in their final league game, relying on Liverpool or Man City to drop points in order to squeeze into the top four.
Initial figures for Sanchez to leave the club stand around £60m-£70m, however Wenger is adamant that the former Barcelona man is happy at the Emirates.
