Ribery is reportedly a shock target for Sheffield United following their promotion to the Premier League

Kicker say Ribery has offers from both Australia and Qatar, but the Blades are in the hunt to bring him to Bramall Lane on a free transfer.Ribery will become a free agent at the end of the month when his Bayern contract expires having announced his intention to end his incredibly successful 12-year spell with the Bundesliga champions earlier this year. Sheffield United are understood to have not approached Ribery over a move to England as of yet, and the report claims the veteran wants to ‘be involved with a major European club’, which is likely to deal a blow to the Blades’ hopes of signing him.Ribery, who played for Boulogne, Ales, Brest, Metz, Galatasaray and Marseille before joining Bayern in 2007, is widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation.
