Manchester United have reportedly agreed a £13m fee with Hoffenheim for attacking midfielder Roberto Firmino.
The 23-year-old has been repeatedly linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club in recent months following another consistent campaign which has seen him break into the Brazil side.
Liverpool are also believed to be interested in Firmino, but talkSPORT claims that United have beaten their rivals to an agreement with Hoffenheim.
Firmino scored 12 goals and delivered 10 assists last season as his side just missed out on Europa League qualification, but he recently attempted to play down the speculation about his future.
United are unlikely to be able to complete a deal until after Firmino returns from the Copa America.
