Legendary Dutch winger Arjen Robben announced over the weekend that he is coming out of retirement and will play with his boyhood club FC Groningen next season.

In the past few months, it was rumored that Robben, who retired last summer, was considering a comeback with several MLS clubs and Brazilian side Botafogo being interested in his services. However, the 36-year-old ended up choosing the club where he started his career with the intention to help Groningen “in this difficult time.”

“The club can use all help in this difficult time,” said Robben. “I have thought a lot lately about what I can do to help the club.“

Robben spent the majority of his youth career with Groningen and played two seasons with the organization as a pro. He left the club in 2002 to join Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven.

“I am working on my comeback. If it will succeed, I don’t know. But won’t be about my motivation. It is my dream to play in the jersey of FC Groningen again,” he added.

Arjen Robben had an illustrious career as a pro and remains as one of the most decorated Dutch players in history in club competitions. He won close to 30 trophies with PSV, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, while also winning a number of individual achievements.

Robben also has 96 games and 37 goals scored with Netherland’s national team, with whom he was FIFA World Cup runner-up in 2010.

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.
