Ribery’s previous deal had been due to expire at the end of the season but it had been widely expected that an extension would be agreed.

He has played in 247 Bundesliga games, scoring 80 goals, and is the only foreign player to win the league eight times, joining club legends Oliver Kahn, Philipp Lahm, Mehmet Scholl and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

“We are delighted that Franck is staying on,” Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said. “Franck has shown this season once again in the Bundesliga, Champions League and DFB Pokal his great quality and the outstanding performances he is capable of. Furthermore, he is one of our fans’ favourites.”
