Report: Atletico Madrid to rival Manchester United for Roberto Firmino

A report claims that Atletico Madrid are firmly in the race to sign Hoffenheim attacker Roberto Firmino.

Atletico Madrid will reportedly go head to head with Manchester United for the signature of Hoffenheim attacker Roberto Firmino this summer.

The 23-year-old, who is currently one of the most in-demand youngsters in European football, has netted eight goals in 28 games for his club this season.

Firmino has also scored twice in four games for Brazil, including the winner in his country's 1-0 victory over Chile in London at the weekend.

Man United have been strongly linked with a move for the attacker, but according to AS, Atletico have been monitoring the player for some time and will make an offer at the end of the season.

Firmino joined Hoffenheim from Figueirense in 2010.
