Highly-rated VfL Bochum midfielder Cajetan Lenz is reportedly set to join TSG Hoffenheim in the summer.
According to Sky Germany, a full agreement has been reached for the 19-year-old to move to the PreZero Arena this summer.
VfL Bochum will receive €10 million plus €1.5 million in bonuses for Lenz, who is set to sign a contract running until 2031 with the Bundesliga club.
Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and especially Eintracht Frankfurt have also been linked with the 19-year-old defensive midfielder, but now appear to have missed out.
Lenz has made 29 appearances for Bochum in the 2. Bundesliga this season, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
