Adelaide United’s pending new coach Gertjan Verbeek has flagged Dutch legend Arjen Robben as a potential signing but suggested it will take a bigger budget.

Verbeek, 56 and a regular guest on FoxSports Netherlands, all but confirmed he is the new boss to replace popular Marco Kurz, saying overnight there is a good chance he would sign for Adelaide.

Verbeek was asked if Dutch superstar Robben, 35, might be a Reds’ target now he is retiring from the Bundesliga.

“Then the budget must be tripled,” he said.

Robben scored for Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich off the bench in a 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. The goal helped Bayern clinch a seventh consecutive Bundesliga title yesterday.

“Today was important, today was the big day,” Robben told bundesliga.com after scoring his 99th Bundesliga goal in his 201st and final German top-flight outing.

“You put everything into it and want to, of course, enjoy your last game here, in your own stadium with your own fans. This had to be something big along with the championship and it was a happy ending.”

With Verbeek reportedly meeting Reds chairman Piet van der Pol to secure the deal over the weekend Kurz has been sounded out as a potential replacement for Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat.

The Victory legend is today expected to officially announce he will step down from the post after the club faces San Frecce Hiroshima in the final group game of the AFC Champions League at AAMI Park on Wednesday.
