Man United and Liverpool target Robben poised to join Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are set to sign winger Arjen Robben from Real Madrid. The German giants have announced that former Chelsea wideman Robben will undergo a medical on Friday morning before signing a four-year contract.
Bayern's general manager Uli Hoeness confirmed that a fee, reported to be in the region of 25 million euros, has been agreed between the two clubs and only a few minor details needed to be ironed out in the morning.
Robben had been strongly linked with a moved back to the Premier league with both Manchester United and Liverpool showing a keen interest in the 25-year-old.
'He is on the way to Munich,' confirmed Hoeness. 'It is right that we are interested in signing Arjen Robben.
'We have already reached an agreement with Real.
He is one of the best attacking midfielders around in Europe and he has always been the player we wanted.'
Robben could be included in coach Louis van Gaal's squad to face Wolfsburg at the weekend and may make an immediate debut.
Hoeness said: 'It is theoretically possible that he will play on Saturday. Our intention is for him to play on the right wing with (Franck) Ribery on the left, making our team even more attractive.'
Robben may not be the last new arrival at Bayern in the final few days of the transfer window as the club react to their worst start to a Bundesliga season in 43 years.
They have not won any of their first three matches this season and are already five points adrift of the league leaders, which is why Hoeness would not rule out a further new player coming to strengthen the club.
Hoeness said: 'At the moment we don't have anybody else in mind, but three or four days ago I would not have thought that Arjen Robben would come to Munich.'
