The Dutch international has scored 17 goals in 21 Bundesliga appearances this season, but it is believed the Bavarian giants are willing to let him go for the right fee.
According to Metro, cashed-up Manchester City are looking to bring the former Chelsea man back to the Premier League with a shock £24m bid this summer.
The 31-year-old has reportedly been tracked by City all season as the two-time Premier League champions look to swoop in the off-season.
Robben scored 73 goals in 127 league appearances for Bayern, and on Tuesday said he was capable of playing on for another eight years.
“I will keep playing so long as I am feeling physically well and still enjoy myself out there,” he is quoted as saying by The Daily Mail.
“I don’t care whether that’s two more years, four more years or perhaps even eight. I am 31 at the moment and I am confident I have a few more years ahead of me.”
Robben, who is currently recovering from a torn calf muscle, missed both legs of Bayern’s Champions League semi-final loss to Barcelona.
