Franck Ribéry’s contract with Salernitana has been automatically extended for a year, we learned from the Italian club on Wednesday. “At the moment we can confirm that Franck Ribéry is a Salernitana player“, indicated to AFP the club of the south of Italy, underlining that the”contract was automatically renewed with the maintenance».
The 39-year-old former France and Bayern Munich striker arrived in Salerno, a city on the Amalfi Coast south of Naples, last summer after two seasons at Fiorentina. La Salernitana has just completed its first season in Serie A in the 21st century. She only obtained her maintenance on the last day of the championship, finishing 17th in the standings.
Want to retire this winter?
The club announced in January that Ribéry had asked to leave during the winter transfer window, before changing its mind and finally ending the season with the Grenats. Media had then evoked the desire for retirement of the native of Boulogne-sur-Mer, in the north of France.
