Hoffenheim Issue Hands-Off Demba Ba Warning

The Bundesliga side are keen to hold on to their star players...

Bundesliga: 1899 Hoffenheim - Energie Cottbus, Demba Ba - Boubacar Sanogo (firo)
Highly-rated Hoffenheim attacker Demba Ba was being linked with a move to Bundesliga giants Stuttgart earlier this week and the 24-year-old had already expressed his interest in the move.

However, the transfer isn't likely to take place as his current club are reluctant to let go of any of their star players, including Demba Ba.

"We're not even considering selling Demba Ba. His current Hoffenheim contract is set to expire in 2011, so there's no need to cash in on him," said manager Jan Schindelmeister to Bild.

"We want to hold on to all of our key players and Ba is one of them. He's not going anywhere and clubs can spare themselves the effort of approaching us."

Ba has been one of Hoffenheim's most important team members this campaign. The Senegalese international scored fourteen goals in 33 league appearances.
