Franck Ribery has dismissed reports linking Wolfsburg forward Kevin de Bruyne with Bayern Munich as a potential replacement for the former France international or his team-mate Arjen Robben . De Bruyne , who spent his two years at Chelsea largely on loan before joining the second-placed Bundesliga club , has scored nine goals this season and is topping the league 's assist charts with 16 – seven more than the next best . But Ribery says despite his impressive form the 23-year-old Belgian is the wrong style of player to come in under Pep Guardiola because he has different assets to himself and the Holland winger . Kevin de Bruyne is linked with Bayern Munich as a potential replacement for the club 's veteran forwards . The Wolfsburg playmaker , here in action for Belgium against Israel , has 16 assists and nine goals this season . Bayern 's Franck Ribery says despite De Bruyne 's impressive form he is the wrong type of player for Munich . 'He is not a player who takes the ball and dribbles forward and likes to have the opponents in front of him , ' Ribery told German publication Sport Bild . 'De Bruyne is great , when he fits the counterattack . At Bayern , however , you usually only have three or four metres in front of you , not a lot of room . But he is a good player and he is still young , so he can still learn . ' Ribery and Robben 's contracts run out in 2017 and both have endured injuries worries of late prompting reports that an injection of youth such as 23-year-old De Bruyne could be good for the club . Ribery ( left ) says De Bruyne 's counter-attacking skills do n't mesh with the style of Pep Guardiola ( right ) Ribery has struggled with injuries of late and has been linked with moves away from the Bundesliga leaders . Should Bayern be in the market for a young attacker , however , Ribery knows precisely who he 'd want to see at Allianz Arena – De Bruyne 's Belgian team-mate Eden Hazard . 'He attacks all of the time . He loves to run at his opponent , ' he said . 'But he plays at Chelsea - this could be very expensive for Bayern . ' If Bayern do go for De Bruyne , against their outspoken veteran 's advice , they 'll have competition from Manchester City , who have met with his representatives , along with Paris Saint-Germain . Wolfsburg are said to be keen to hang onto him for at least one more campaign that should include next season 's Champions League . Chelsea 's Eden Hazard would be an ideal fit with Guardiola and the Allianz Arena , says Ribery , but expensive .
