Robben reiterates desire to remain at Bayern Munich

Robben reiterates desire to remain at Bayern Munich Arjen Robben says that while he has yet to hold talks with Bayern Munich over a contract extension, he is desperate to stay at the Allianz Arena.

The 29-year-old winger, who scored the winning goal in last season's Champions League final win over Borussia Dortmund, will be a free agent in 2015 and has been angling for a new deal.

Robben recently stated that the onus was on Bayern to kick off negotiations but even though he is still waiting to hear from the club, the Netherlands international is confident that an agreement will soon be reached.

"There have been no talks," he told Sportmasta. "But the intention by both parties is to extend the relationship.

"I am ready at any time. I have always said that I want to stay here for a long time because I'm happy at this club."

Robben, who is hoping to make his return from injury before the end of the month, joined Bayern from Real Madrid for a reported €25 million in 2009.
