Bayern Munich Winger Franck Ribery Hoping to Sign Contract Extension Beyond 2016/17

Bayern Munich forward Franck Riberyis hopeful of signing a new deal with the Bundesliga giants.


Ribery signed for Bayern back in 2007 for a then-record€25m transfer fee, but the France international has had a troubled time at the German giants during the past two seasons, enduring injury hit campaigns and making a combined total of 28 Bundesliga appearances, scoring seven goals.


But despite his injury woes, Ribery is eager to sign a new deal and commit his future to Bayern.

"Maybe I am here for two or three more years,"he told Goal."I don't know what will happen. I have such good form, the rest will come."


When asked whether he would be at Bayern next season, the former Marseille winger replied"Ihope so."


Ribery reportedly fell out with former Bayern boss Pep Guardiola towards the end of the Spaniard's tenure at the club, and he has set his sights on winning all trophies available to the Bundesliga side, but singled out the Champions League as a prioritywith Carlo Ancelotti arrivingas the club's new manager.

"We want to win everything," he continued.


"If I had to decide between Bundesliga and Champions League I would choose the Champions League, because it's a bit more special, even [though the] Bundesliga is a great thing.


"I hope we will win all the titles this season."


During Ribery's absence, the likes of Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman have emerged as important players for Bayern, and the 33-year-old will no doubt face serious competition in claiming a regular spot in the first eleven of the Bundesliga champions.
