This explains why Real Madrid let Arjen Robben go to Bayern Munich!
Many sources say the transfer of Robben to Bayern was the first step to get Franck Ribery in a Real Madrid uniform next season. Madrid has yet to collect the 25 million Euros from Robben's transfer, meaning this is part of what will cost Madrid the transfer of Ribery, estimated between 50 an 60 million Euros.
Apparently, there's already a verbal agreement between the two clubs for this transfer to be made after this season is over. The 25 million that Madrid has not received serves as a "deposit", so Ribery, if transferred, could only be to Real Madrid. In the event Ribery signs an extension with Bayern Munich, they will be required to pay Real Madrid the 25 million, plus interest for this season.
It's only mid season, but there are also rumors Real Madrid will be going after Andre Santos, Nemanja Vidic, and David Villa, Kun Aguero, or Wayne Rooney next summer. There seems to be an agreement already in place for Santos to be transferred next summer, if not this winter.
