In a video posted on the club website on Saturday, the 36-year-old Robben said, “We’re coming home, back to Groningen.”

“At this time, I’m not sure it will happen. What I am sure of is that my drive and motivation will be 100%. It will be a tough physical challenge, but I’m going for it,” added a cautious Robben.

Robben retired from the game a year ago.
