Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah will return to German outfit 1899Â Hoffenheim after Sampdoria decided against making his stay permanent.
Reports in Italy claimed on Wednesday that the Italian outfit has excluded the Ghana international from their plans for next season.
He will thus return to the German side following the expiration of his one-year loan stint as his agent attempts to sort out his long-term future.
Acquah has become an integral member of the Ghana squad since his impressive performance at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea.
