Kicker claimed Ribery has been told to fight for his place with
wingers Kingsley Coman, 21 and Serge Gnabry, the 22-year-old who will return
from a loan spell at Hoffenheim, set to be preferred next season.
Bayern reportedly received interest in Ribery from clubs in
China, Qatar and Turkey.
His new contract until June 2019 is a reward for long service at
the German champions. He joined from Marseille in 2007 and has made 380
appearances, scoring 117 goals and delivering 176 assists.
Ribery played in Bayern's goalless draw at home to Sevilla on Wednesday when they reached the
semi finals of the Champions League for the seventh time in nine seasons.
