Arjen Robben leaves door open for exit

Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben has insisted that he will stay with the Allianz Arena outfit but only after admitting that he has kept his options open in case he decides against staying.

The Dutchman has admitted that a return to his homeland is as likely an outcome as is a move to either USA to China.

Speaking in an interview with Goal, Robben said: "Everyone has to personally assess this. You must never say that this is not an option. But also do not say that you want to go.

"I am now at Bayern. Of course, I plan a little, I talk to my wife. I am now at the top level. You must see what comes next.

"My family comes first, but the life experience, living elsewhere - in the USA, in China - might come. But maybe not. Maybe I'll go back home [to the Netherlands]. I do not rule out anything."


Bayern Munich looking to beat Manchester United to Nelson Semedo’s signing

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are looking to pip Manchester United to the signing of Benfica defender Nelson Semedo, according to reports in O Jogo. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, along with teammate and central defensive partner Victor Lindelof.

The 23-year-old is reported to have a €60m buy-out clause in his contract but the Portuguese side are expected to entertain an offer in the region of €40m. The Allianz Arena outfit had pipped the Red Devils to the signing of Benfica wonder-kid Renato Sanches.
