The France international was understandably shaken after returning home on Sunday night from a 2-1 win at Parma to discover his home had been ransacked.
Ribery then wrote this message on Instagram, implying he could move on from Fiorentina.
“Thank God my wife and children were safe in Munich, but how can we trust [our surroundings] today?
“How can I? Do we feel good here today after what happened? I don’t need to chase millions, we have everything we need thank God, but I always chase the ball because it’s my passion.
“Passion or not, however, my family comes first and we’ll make the necessary decisions for our wellbeing.”
Now a group of Fiorentina ultras have written a response in newspaper Il Giornale, but it is far from reassuring or apologetic.
“Dear Franck, we understand your shock, but wash your mouth out before talking about Florence like that. It’s not Medellin, you know…
“Rich people get robbed everywhere, but they are fortunate enough to be able to afford home alarm systems and private security. Us poor folks, instead, get robbed too, but we have to be like San Lorenzo and accept it in silence.”
