Arjen Robben has admitted that this will be his final season at Bayern Munich after ten years in Germany.
"This is my final year at Bayern," says Robben during his visit to a Bayern fan club. "There were ten wonderful years... and this one is good too."
Franck Ribery - another veteran player for The Bavarians - has expressed his will to stay at the club, but admitted that the decision is out of his hands.
"You never know what happens in life," Ribery tells Bild. "I hope I will (stay), but it's not only up to me."
Bayern Munich club president Uni Hoeness previously condeded that both Robben and Ribery - 34 and 35 years old respectively - are likely to leave after this season.
"They are very likely to be having their last year at Bayern, " said Hoeness.
However, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge thought otherwise. He says: "Both are still good players, they can still be productive."
"These are players who have written down the history of this club, and I must say frankly and honestly: we would have been badly advised if we had not renewed contracts with them."
Ribery joined Bayern from Marseille in the summer of 2007 and has recorded over 400 appearances for the club up until now.
Robben's time at Germany is a bit shorter, joining them in 2009. He has had 143 goals in 305 appearances.
Together, they have guided Bayern Munich to seven Bundesliga titles, four DFB-Pokal titles and one Champions League title in 2013.

10 years since Robben first joined in Bayern Munich,lot of people thought it was a bad decision to go to Bayern instead of staying in Real Madrid.But Robben disagreed. Finally,he and Ribery rejuvenated Bayern Munich almost on their own.Maybe the European Champion League title in 2013 was the best reward for Robben and his dedication.He had numerous injuries during that period of time,but he never gave up or gave in. Time flies,soon Robben is going to retire.It’s really hard to say goodbye since he’s my favorite player .But it seems that Robben have made a rational decision—leave the best impression in our mind.He is self-conscious therefore we should respect his decision though we’re reluctant to face it. Robben’s Street,Robben’s Cutting Inside.His trademarks will always be remembered by all of us and will go down in history. So Long,ArjenRobben. So Long,The “Robbery”. So Long,The Flying Dutch Man.
