Liverpool have reportedly decided to open talks with Hoffenheim over a potential move for Roberto Firmino.

The Anfield side are said to have been tracking the midfielder in recent months, and now plan to bring him to the Premier League during this summer's transfer window.

According to reports in the German media, Brendan Rodgers will fly out to visit the club in the coming days to begin negotiations for the 22-year-old.

The Brazilian was the Bundesliga team's top scorer in all competitions last season, netting 19 times.
