Franck Ribery to Leave Bayern Munich in Summer After 12 Years With Bundesliga Giants

Bayern Munich have announced they will not be extending Franck Ribery's contract in the summer, drawing an end to the Frenchman's 12-year career in Bavaria.

The news had been expected for sometime with the 36-year-old joining Arjen Robben in leaving the Bundesliga side after a trophy-laden spell in Germany.
