"When I came to Bayern, it was a dream come true. It won't be easy to say goodbye, but we must never forget what we've achieved together," Ribery told the club's website https://fcbayern.com/en/news/2019/05/ribery-era-ends-in-summer-after-12-years.
Former France international Ribery will join fellow veteran forward Arjen Robben in leaving the club at the end of the campaign, marking the end of the iconic 'Robbery' partnership at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern confirmed they will honour the duo with a testimonial match in 2020.
"Franck and Arjen are great players," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
"FC Bayern owes a lot to both of them and we will give them a wonderful and emotional farewell. They've helped shape FC Bayern's most successful decade with fantastic football."
