The club's representative has claimed that the Bavarians are close to reaching an agreement in regards to extending the Dutchman's current deal at the Allianz Arena

Bayern Munich's sporting director Christian Nerlinger has stated that the club is nearing a resolution to Arjen Robben's contract talks.

The 38-year-old former Bayern midfielder was speaking after the Bavarian club's 6-0 win at Hertha Berlin on Saturday, where Robben managed to bag himself a hat trick.

"We are well on our way [to finalizing a deal]," Nerlinger told Bild. “Arjen is his old self. We have always known quite clearly that we want to keep him."

The Dutch winger is currently in superb form, having contributed seven goals and four assists in his last three games. His current deal runs until 2013.
