Man of the future: Bayern „absolutely want to get“ this player | OneFootball

FC Bayern are pressing ahead with their squad planning for the future and apparently have a top German talent at the top of their list. Kennet Eichhorn from Hertha BSC is the focus of the Munich club, and the interest seems to be more concrete than ever

As reported by Sky, the German record champions are keen to sign the 16-year-old defensive midfielder. Eichhorn is seen as the „man of the future“ at Säbener Straße – a player who could play an important role in the Bayern squad in the future

However, those responsible are aware that the transfer will be anything but easy, as the competition for the junior international is enormous

Farewell from Berlin looms

According to the report, Eichhorn himself is apparently planning the next step in his career and could leave Hertha BSC in the summer

The youngster had only recently signed a long-term contract extension in Berlin, but at the time he was still officially committed to the club and emphasized the optimal development opportunities at Hertha

In the background, however, a crucial contractual clause could facilitate the transfer. According to media reports, Eichhorn has an exit clause for the summer of 2026, which is said to be around ten to twelve million euros

For a player of his potential, this would be a comparatively moderate transfer fee – and is unlikely to be an obstacle for top clubs such as FC Bayern

In addition to Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig are also said to be very interested, while international heavyweights Manchester City and Arsenal FC have also put out feelers

The potential transfer would fit in perfectly with FC Bayern’s current strategy, as the Munich club is increasingly focusing on young players with the potential to develop and wants to tie talented players to the club at an early stage

With Eichhorn, FCB could secure one of Germany’s most exciting young talents – but until then, there is likely to be an intense transfer poker game ahead.
