Bayern Munich agree Robben deal

**Real Madrid have agreed to sell former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben to Bayern Munich for a reported £22m.**Robben will have a medical on Friday and Bayern chief Uli Hoeness hopes the Dutchman will be able to play against champions VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday.

Robben had been linked to a move away from the Bernabeu since the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, with Tottenham reportedly interested.

Bayern chief Uli Hoeness said: “He’ll make our team even more attractive.”

Robben, 25, earned a reputation at both Chelsea and Real as an exciting playmaker but one who was easily injured, and he only played 50 matches in two seasons in Spain. He has 43 caps for the Netherlands.

Hoeness, Bayern’s general manager, added: "He’s one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe. He’s always been one of the players we wanted.

“Our intention is to have Robben play on the right and Franck Ribery on the left. If it all goes perfectly and without any hitches, it would be theoretically possible for him to play on Saturday.”
