Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben has expressed his optimism of signing a new contract with the club in the near future.
The 32-year-old Dutchman is out of contract in the summer but has revealed that a deal shouldn't be difficult to negotiate.
The length of the deal has been considered apotential stumbling block, with Robben reportedly keen to remain at the club for longer than a year.
Asked about his future having scored in Bayern's 3-1 win over Mainz on Friday - viaFourFourTwo- Robben said:"My father is ready [for a talk], he likes to drink coffee with Mr. Rummenigge.I read as well about the contract term, but we are not so far apart.
"Maybe everything is done after one talk. It will not be very difficult."
Rummenigge added: "There was a talk with Arjen's father, which is his agent. And the father said, he [Robben] wants to stay healthy until Christmas. Then there will be talks.
"I think he wants to extend his contract and we are as well interested, Arjen will play for Bayern next season.
"There is no reason why Arjen should not play for Bayern next year."
