Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has reiterated that Franck Ribery will not be sold.
Barcelona are the latest club to be linked with the 25-year-old in a possible exchange deal with Alexander Hleb, but Rummenigge has rubbished the reports.
"We will not let a player like Ribery, who still has two and a half years left on his contract with us, leave," he told Premiere television.
"You don't sell players like him, you keep them.
"There is no truth in the story. We have not had any contact with the player (Hleb), FC Barcelona or his agent.
"It has all been dreamed up out of nothing."
Ribery missed Bayern's 7-1 demolition of Sporting Lisbon in midweek due to injury, but coach Jurgen Klinsmann is confident he will be back to face Bochum in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
