According to the report, the German record champions have dropped out of the bidding for the 16-year-old midfielder

According to the report, the decision was made after an intensive analysis of the situation, in which the Bayern managers are said to have carefully examined both the sporting and financial aspects of a potential transfer

Above all, the economic framework conditions are said to have ultimately not met the expectations of Munich

Not only financial reasons decisive

Interestingly, according to SPORT1, it was not only financial factors that played a role

Although the international is regarded as one of the greatest German talents of his age group, Bayern apparently do not see sufficient arguments in his development for a transfer on the terms currently being discussed

Eichhorn has been repeatedly linked with top European clubs in recent months, with FC Bayern also long considered a serious interested party

According to SPORT1, sporting director Max Eberl in particular had been intensively involved with the Hertha jewel and was considered internally to be in favor of a possible transfer

However, Eberl is said to support the decision that has now been made

High demands deter interested parties

Reports have recently emerged that Borussia Dortmund have also significantly reduced their efforts

According to Sport BILD, the player’s entourage is demanding a hand money of around ten million euros, in addition to an exit clause, which is said to be around nine million euros for Champions League participants

These financial dimensions are said to have caused considerable doubt at both FC Bayern and BVB

For Munich, the decision not to sign Eichhorn could now also have an impact on their internal squad planning, with players such as Tom Bischof and Noel Aseko, who was recently loaned out to Hannover 96, hoping to get more playing time in central midfield.
