Man Utd, Chelsea target Firmino to play out season with Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim midfielder Roberto Firmino expects to play out the season with his Bundesliga club.

The Daily Star Sunday says Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all chasing Brazilian playmaker Firmino.

The Bundesliga club's sporting director Alexander Rose has ruled out activity in January but says that the club will look at the futures of Firmino and Kevin Volland next summer..

"Until the end of the season neither of them will move because if you watch them play you understand that have not been forced to remain in Hoffenheim, but they are happy to play with this team," Rose told Sport 1..

"We know that we can not keep them with us until the end of their careers and teams who have significant market offerings, but no we think about it. In the summer we'll see."
