Bayern Munich playmaker Franck Ribery will sign a three-year contract extension that will make him the club's highest ever earner and keep him with the German champions until 2015, it was reported yesterday.

Bild said Ribery, who has endured arguably one of his toughest seasons both on and off the pitch, would sign a deal worth €10 million annually this weekend.

Although he still has a year left on his current contract, the paper said Ribery's new deal would begin on July 1, 2010.

If confirmed it would make him the club's highest ever earner - and would be good news for both club and 27-year-old Ribery, who moved to Bayern from Marseille in 2007.

Bayern began the season warding off the attentions of Real Madrid, who were looking to sign Ribery.

The French international then suffered a series of injuries that scuppered his season, and last month he hit the headlines after being implicated in a scandal involving an underage girl. The affair reportedly turned Real Madrid off Ribery's scent.

Representatives for Ribery and Bayern reportedly met this week at a Madrid hotel where Bayern Munich are staying prior to the Champions League final.

Ribery said recently he wanted to sort his club future out before the World Cup begins on June 11.

And Bayern have been making special efforts in recent weeks to keep Ribery at the club, where he is largely adored by fans.
