BREAKING NEWS: Bayern confirm Ribery exit
Franck Ribery will leave Bayern Munich when his contract expires at the end of the season, the club have confirmed.
Former France international Ribery arrived from Marseille in 2007 and has won 21 trophies with the club, including eight Bundesliga titles.
The 36-year-old will join fellow veteran winger Arjen Robben in departing the Allianz Arena in June and a testimonial match will be held for both players in 2020.
"When I came to Bayern, it was a dream come true. It won't be easy to say goodbye, but we must never forget what we've achieved together," said Ribery.
Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge added: "Franck and Arjen are great players. FC Bayern owes a lot to both of them and we will give them a wonderful and emotional farewell.
"They've helped shape FC Bayern's most successful decade with fantastic football."
@FranckRibery will not extend his contract with #FCBayern, and will leave this summer.
