Hamburg's veteran Brazilian midfielder Ze Roberto has dismissed rumours linking him with a switch to the New York Red Bulls at the end of this season.

It had been suggested that the Major League Soccer side were interested in signing the 35-year-old on a three-year contract but the former Bayern Munich star man has said: "A transfer is not an issue."

Ze Roberto returned to action at the weekend after being sidelined for three months with an ankle injury.

He scored on his return against Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday and remains in fine form.

Speculation of a possible switch to the USA has been rife as Hamburg's former director of sport Dietmar Beiersdorfer is now the general manager at the Red Bulls.
