Bayern boss wants to keep Robben and Ribery

Bayern München chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge suggests that Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben could be set for contract renewals.

Arjen Robben, 34, and Franck Ribery, 35, both have contracts that will expire this summer, and it is still unclear if the ageing duo will continue at Bayern München.

When asked directly about the duo, Bayern's chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said that there is little reason not to extend their contracts.

"There are very little arguments against a renewal," Rummenigge told Sport Bild.

"We have said that we are doing it at the right time, and they have both agreed to that. The deciding factor is how they play. And they play on a first-class level," he added.

Robben says he is still undecided, and that he won't rule out anything at the moment. After yesterday's 4-1 victory over Augsburg that secured Bayern the Bundesliga title, the Dutchman was asked if he thinks it will be his last league title with Bayern.

"It could be - everything is possible. That's why you have to try to enjoy it. It's not always easy, of course, because you have to plan as well. I have to think about it, too. But the only thing that matters to me right now is this last month of the season," Robben told Sport Bild.

Ribery joined Bayern from Marseille in 2007 while Robben made the switch to Säbener Strasse from Chelsea in 2009.
