According to reports from The Express this morning, Roberto Firmino’s agent has revealed that expects the Hoffenheim star to move abroad in the coming transfer window.
The 23 year-old has been in fantastic form over the last two campaigns, amassing 23 goals and 21 assists in his last 66 Bundesliga outings.
That impressive haul, combined with the attacking midfielder scoring twice in his first two appearances for the Brazil national team, has created quite the buzz, with Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United all believed to be courting his services – as This Is Futbol revealed last month.
Back in April, Firmino rejected rumours claiming he intends to leave the Rhine Neckar Arena this summer – as reported by This Is Futbol – but recent comments from his agent, Roger Wittman, strongly suggest otherwise.
According to The Express, who source Brazilian football news outlet Sambafoot, Wittman has told reporters; “I don’t rule out that he’ll stay at Hoffenheim, and I also don’t rule out that he’ll stay in Bundesliga. But basically you have to expect a transfer abroad.”
The British tabloid also rate the former Figueirense youngster at £18million.
