Christoph Baumgartner has played down the prospect of leaving Hoffenheim this summer.

The attacking midfielder is being linked with Liverpool and Manchester United.

But Baumgartner told BILD: "My plan is very clear that I will play in Hoffenheim next season.

“I definitely extended my contract in March with the intention of playing here next season.

"I see the best opportunity here to develop myself further. For me that means: continuous performance at a high level, with even more outliers upwards."
