Robben signs Bayern extension until 2017

The Dutchman has signed a new deal with the Bundesliga champions that will keep him at the club for two additional seasons

Bayern Munich have announced on their official website that Arjen Robben has signed a new contract with the Bavarians until June 2017.

The Netherlands international’s previous deal was due to expire in the summer of 2015 and a number of clubs were closely monitoring Robben’s situation at the Allianz Arena.

However, Robben recently already revealed that it was a matter of time before he would sign a new contract and he has now put ink to paper.

“I am very happy that the contract has been signed now and I will continue to fight for trophies with Bayern,” the 30-year-old commented on his renewal.

“I am currently in my fifth year at Bayern and there are three more to come. This is the perfect signal to show that my family and I are very happy in Munich and at Bayern.

“I am looking forward to the next few years and many more titles.”

Robben joined Bayern from Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 and has since won two Bundesliga title, two DFB Pokals and the Champions League.

He previously wore the jerseys of Groningen, PSV and Chelsea.
