“We're very happy that the club has been able to keep Roberto Firmino, a hugely important part of this young team, here in Hoffenheim,” said chairman of the board at TSG, Peter Rettig.

Alexander Rosen, sporting director at Hoffenheim, sees the 22-year-old as “a player with incredible ability, who has developed immensely in the last year under Markus Gisdol.” As of matchday 26 this season, the Brazilian has bagged 13 goals and is second in the Bundesliga's points-scorer charts (goals + assists).

Firmino, who will make his 100th Bundesliga appearance for TSG in the match against Hannover on Wednesday night, said: “I feel very much at home here. I like the path that the club is on. We play exciting football, the team spirit is great and I will continue working hard to help the team as much as I can in the future.”
