Arjen Robben recently announced he is leaving Bayern Munich when his contract ends at the end of the season. Now, the Dutchman is considering retiring by June.

Arjen Robben, 34, confirmed to Kicker that he will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season. With his 35th birthday coming up in January, he feels like it’s the right choice.

“Of course it’s a big step, which you don’t just make in one day,” he told Kicker.

“I thought about it a lot, and it feels good that it’s now out, also for the fans and the club.

“It was the right point in time.”

Robben could make his return to the pitch when Bayern take on Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday. He missed the last couple of games with a thigh injury.

Both Bayern and Ajax are already through to the next round, and the German giants only need a draw in Amsterdam to win Group E.

Despite scoring two amazing goals two weeks ago when Bayern demolished Benfica 5-1, Arjen Robben says now is the perfect time to leave the club.

“The game against Benfica was a nice confirmation that I can play at the highest level.

“On the other side, the club wants to change the face of the team, and I want to prepare my future.

“I am simply happy and grateful that there is clarity for both parties.”

Robben added that he has no plans for when the season ends and is even thinking about leaving the game for good.

“That’s not entirely clear, perhaps I will stop playing – it’s about waiting and seeing what possibilities there are,” he said.

“If offers come in, I’ll really consider them 100 percent, and if it’s something nice, I’ll play on, but if no ideal offers come, then that could be it.

“I have three children, and they also must be happy, so it’s not just about offers from China or places in the desert.

“The family plays a very important role in every decision of mine.”
