TSG Hoffenheim youngster Tim Bischof, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has reportedly been targeted by a number of clubs, with Bayern Munich understood to be leading the race for his signature.
For the time being, however, the 19-year-old is determined to concentrate on playing football.
"I'm doing quite well, I think, and I enjoy playing football," Bischof said, according to DPA.
"I'm just concentrating on football at the moment. I'm completely tuning it out," the midfielder added of the speculation surrounding his future.
“I think you can see that on the pitch. I read about it, but I don't think about it.”
Asked when a decision will be made, Bischof smiled and said, “We'll see.”
Hoffenheim managing director for sport Andreas Schicker, meanwhile, is optimistic that a new deal will be found for Bischof.
"I think he's doing very well. His parents and management are also doing a great job," Schicker said.
“We are in constant dialogue. I'm still optimistic that we'll reach an agreement.”
