Ribery looks the most vulnerable to a move as he is out of contract at the end of next season but Rummenigge said they hope to keep him in Germany despite reported interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea.
"We will hold talks. Our clear aim is still to extend the contract," Rummenigge told Bild.
"We want to have a team next season who achieve their goals domestically and internationally take another step forward."
Robben, who has been in sensational form since signing from Real Madrid in the summer, is under a long-term contract and is not available for sale.
"Arjen's contract here has three more years to run. He is very happy. His father said to me, 'Perhaps he would have been better coming to you three years ago'," said Rummenigge.
There are also no plans for the Bundesliga giants to make a move for Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.
"I think Dzeko is a very good player, but we will not go there this year," said Rummenigge.
"We have no problems in attack. With (Toni) Kroos (on loan at Bayer Leverkusen this season) we have a touch more quality and more options tactically."
