Dutchman cannot give 100 per cent guarantee he will stay at Bayern

Arjen Robben has still to decide whether he will sign a contract extension at Bayern Munich and is considering his options. The Dutchman has returned to top form recently with a string of stirring performances and five goals in his last two games. But Robben is still unhappy about being left on the bench in February and the 2010 World Cup finalist is therefore considering his options. The former Chelsea winger's current contract has just over a year left to run and he is attracting interest from clubs in England, where he appears keen to return.

Strange

Talks over a new deal have therefore been put on ice and the 28-year-old explained: "It cannot be said that I am 100 per cent certain I will stay with Bayern. "A lot has happened in recent weeks and I didn't play for three games in a row. Everybody saw that. It was not the best of times." Robben added in Bild: "It is not as if I have to sign a new deal next week. I am just concentrating on playing football. "I still have a year on my contract with Bayern so there is no rush. You never know what happens in football - it is often very strange." However, Robben insists he is "not speaking to other clubs" even though he admits that "maybe they do call from time to time".
