All the big clubs are getting linked to Kennet Eichhorn — and German Rekordmeister Bayern Munich is no exception.
The 16-year-old Hertha BSC midfield talent is having a breakout year in the 2. Bundesliga, and heavy-hitters across Europe seem to share a high appraisal of his potential. However, with a modest release clause, it is not likely to be money, but rather the most convincing sales pitch, that wins the day. Bayern’s biggest competition then could arise within the Bundesliga itself — and the race
has started in earnest, per a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg:
🚨🛩️ EXCL | Leverkusen duo Rolfes/Falkenberg flew to Berlin last Wednesday… Concrete talks have taken place with the side around Kennet #Eichhorn.
A number of clubs remain involved, including Bayern, Leipzig, Dortmund, Frankfurt, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, PSG, and several others.
At present, there are no agreements or commitments. Release clause: €10-12 million in the summer for the 16 y/o gem from Hertha BSC. @SkySportDE🇩🇪
Bayer Leverkusen has been one of Europe’s talent factories — look no further than current German national team duo Kai Havertz (Arsenal) and Florian Wirtz (Liverpool). Could Eichhorn follow in their footsteps and develop at Die Werkself?
