Speaking to BILD, Robben revealed that Bayern Munich tried to bring him back after Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman suffered injuries in the winter.

Robben will move back to the Netherlands this summer, “In the summer we go back to the Netherlands, home. From the age of eighteen I went from Groningen, to Eindhoven, to Chelsea, to Real Madrid, to Bayern Munich. We have lived abroad for seventeen years, of which eleven in Munich. We are very happy, but it does require some adjustment. “
Robben doesn’t know what the future holds, “I don’t know yet what I want to do. I’m open to everything. I just want to take the time to get used to the Netherlands.”
