Bayern president Uli Hoeness had hinted at Robben's announcement earlier on Sunday.

Hoeness suggested the former PSV Eindhoven favourite and French winger Franck Riberry, 35, would move on in the summer when their contract ends.

It underlines a period of dramatic change for the current German champions, who after 13 matches are nine points behind leaders Dortmund.
