Bayern's two veteran wingers are expected to extend their spells at the Allianz Arena with new contracts on the way

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has indicated both Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery will be offered contract renewals over the coming months.

Both of the players have just one year remaining on their contracts, and despite the fact the club are yet to start talks over new deals, Rummenigge has revealed that he expects them to stay beyond this date.

"I do not rule out that both will sign renewals with Bayern," Rummenigge told Kicker. 

"We all know how incredibly important they are, both on and off the pitch.

"But both will have to be patient for a bit. It is only normal to wait a bit longer with players who are older than 30."

Robben (32) joined Bayern from Real Madrid back in August 2009, whilst Ribery (33) arrived back in June 2007 from Marseille.
