Money won’t sway Ballack

MICHAEL BALLACK insists the colour of money will not decide whether he stays at Bayern Munich or packs his bags for a move abroad.

The 28-year-old is contracted at Munich until June 2006 but has so far refused to agree an extension with the German champions.

Man United and Real Madrid are reportedly ready to offer lucrative deals to lure him away from the Allianz Arena but Ballack says porting aspects are more significant than the financial.
