Former Bayern Munich star winger Arjen Robben announced the end of his illustrious career last summer, but it appears the 36-year-old Dutchman isn’t 100 percent sure this was the right decision. In a recent interview with Sport1, Robben said that he couldn’t rule out a possible comeback in the future.

Robben spent the recent few weeks training with Bayern’s team, which sparked rumors that he might suit up for Bundesliga giant once again.

“I have to disappoint you. My comeback at Bayern is a hundred percent impossible,” said Robben addressing these speculations.

When asked about the possibility of playing for another club, Robben was less decisive and didn’t rule out this scenario.

“You never know. I don’t want to say yes or no now,” he added.

There would definitely be an interest in Arjen Robben’s services, considering that he was viewed as one of the best wingers of his generation. Robben received offers to unretired even before this interview, with Brazilian powerhouse Botafogo openly expressing interest in signing him. The club’s vice president Ricardo Rotenberg even told the media that he had exploratory talks about the move with the player’s representatives.

Over the course of his career, Robben played with Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich among other clubs. He left the biggest mark in Germany, where he won eight Bundesliga titles and one UEFA Champions League trophy.

Ben loves sports so much but prefers watching other people do it. He prefers not to share what teams he's supporting but he is willing to admit that Lebron James is, in fact, the king.
