Arjen Robben declares he's leaving Bayern Munich

Former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Arjen Robben has announced he will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

Robben hit 37 goals in 96 games for Holland and famously notched Bayern's 89th minute Champions League final winner against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley in 2013.

So far he has 98 goals from 198 games for the Bundesliga giants.

He told Omnisport: "It's my last year at Bayern.

"It has been 10 beautiful years. But it's time [to leave] now."

Bayern president Uli Hoeness had hinted at Robben's announcement earlier on Sunday.

Hoeness suggested the former PSV Eindhoven favourite and French winger Franck Riberry, 35, would move on in the summer when their contract ends.
