Baumgartner in no rush to leave Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim midfielder Christoph Baumgartner doesn't feel the absolute need to leave Hoffenheim at this point of his career.
Christopher Baumgartner is in no rush to leave Hoffenheim despite reports linking him with bigger clubs.

The Austrian midfielder told Laola1.tv:

"Friends or acquaintances keep saying: 'You have to go now, you have to go now...'

"But I don't see it as a must, because I'm at a club that may not be at the top, but in the upper half of the table after all. If I stay for another year or two, I can make steps there as well."

However, the 22-year-old does not entirely rule out a departure from Sinsheim this summer.

"If something really comes along that is concrete and interesting, I will definitely give it some thought."

The Austrian international has been linked with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Sevilla in the past.
