Robben extends Bayern contract

ARJEN Robben extended his contract with Champions League titleholder Bayern Munich yesterday to 2017.

The Dutch winger’s contract was to expire in June after five seasons. He will stay at Bayern for three more seasons.

Robben scored the deciding goal in the 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final last season, when Bayern completed its first treble by also taking the Bundesliga and German Cup. Bayern is on track to win all three trophies again this season and could clinch the Bundesliga title this weekend.

The 30-year-old Robben, who has scored 55 goals in 98 Bundesliga matches, said he was having “incredible fun” with Bayern and was looking forward “to many more titles”.

“We are very pleased that Arjen has extended his contract,” Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said. “Arjen is an important pillar of our team and will remain so in the coming years.”
