Philipp Lahm planning to announce retirement in 2018

By , Reporter
Philipp Lahm reveals that he is planning to retire when his current Bayern Munich deal expires in 2018.

Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has revealed that he is planning to announce his retirement in the summer of 2018.

The 31-year-old, who stepped away from the international game after leading Germany to World Cup glory in the summer, insists that he has no intention of signing a lucrative deal elsewhere when his current contract expires at the Allianz Arena.

"My contract with Bayern expires in 2018. I will be 34 by then; that will be the right time to end my career," Lahm told L'Equipe.

"I don't see myself making the move to Qatar or the USA. I want to end my active career while I'm still on top of my game.

"I want to win another Champions League title with Bayern. It's the biggest goal I have now and I think we can even win it this season."

Lahm is currently out of action recovering from a broken ankle.
