Robben could still be Bayern's


The agent and father of Chelsea forward Arjen Robben has rekindled hopes of the Dutch international moving to German giants Bayern Munich by saying "anything is possible" on Thursday.

Hans Robben insists his son, who has two years left on his contract, and English giants Chelsea have yet to decide on his future and there is still a chance Arjen will come to Bayern this summer.

"There is still the possibility that Arjen comes to Munich", said Robben senior in German sports magazine Kicker, "provided Bayern can offer us a five year contract."

But the 23-year-old Dutchman international said at the start of the week he wanted to stay at Chelsea, even if he seems to have lost favour with Chelsea's manager Jose Mourinho.

"I've always said I want to stay. I will be here next season, that's for sure," Robben was reported to have said only on Monday after playing a brief role in last Saturday's FA Cup final 1-0 win over Manchester United.

Since his 2004 arrival at Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven, Robben has played 51 Premier League matches in three seasons, scoring 16 goals, but has often been injured.
