The Bayern Munich CEO has insisted that there is a high probability that the Dutch international will stay at the club beyond this season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521’s future has been under widespread speculation for the past few months and there have been reports linking him with a move to Italian giants Juventus in the summer.
The winger’s contract is set to end in the summer next year and the player is reportedly being offered a new deal to ward off interest from other clubs.
Beckenbauer claimed that Robben is an integral part of Bayern Munich and is a very important player for the side. He stated that there is a very good chance that the player will eventually commit his future to Bayern and sign a
new deal as it would be in the best interest of both the parties.
The chief had recently criticised the player for missing a penalty in a league game against Borussia Dortmund and things have not been well between the duo since then. He admitted that he is a great fan of the winger and is confident
that the player will be part of the squad next year.
“Robben knows what to expect here at Bayern. That's why I expect him to sign a new deal eventually. It would be in the best interest of both parties. I know that Robben is angry with me because I criticised him, but that doesn't
change my positive opinion of him. I am a big Robben fan,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Bavarian added that Robben is irreplaceable and his partnership with Franck Ribery is vital for the club which is why he should stay.
“He's indispensable for us on the right as long as we're playing in a formation with wingers, just like Ribery on the left. Our entire style of play is based on their specific qualities. Robben has scored a lot of decisive goals
in the past few seasons,” he concluded.
Arjen Robben has insisted that he will ponder over the new offer once the season ends. The Dutch international added that there is certainly a possibility that he decides against signing a new deal.
