CHELSEA are locked in talks to sign Bayern Munich ace Franck Ribery for £43million.
The two clubs are believed to have agreed the fee and Blues are now thrashing out terms with the 26-year-old French international midfielder.
Ribery is holding out for a bumper £125,000-a-week salary AFTER tax but Chelsea are reluctant to offer more than £90,000 a week.
If the Londoners do close the deal it will be a bitter blow to Premier League rivals Manchester United, who have long wanted the Frenchman as a potential replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Full-back Patrice Evra revealed in The Sun that he was hoping to persuade Ribery to join United.
