Kennet Eichhorn is one of the most sought-after players on the international market. The 16-year-old, who currently plays for Hertha BSC, is being courted by numerous clubs
One of these clubs is FC Bayern. Alongside BVB, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and RB Leipzig, Bayern from the Bundesliga is the team with the best chances. Barcelona, Real Madrid and top clubs from England are also in the running
The fact that Eichhorn also has a release clause in the region of 12 to 15 million euros makes the transfer issue even more interesting
It seems that a decision will be made in the coming weeks. Bayern have already spoken to the player, which could be an advantage. A clear plan was outlined at the meeting and because Leon Goretzka is leaving the club, a place in midfield will become available

According to Christian Falk, there are currently one or two points in Bayern’s favour. On the one hand, teams from England can buy the player, but cannot register him until he is 18 years old. This means that they would have to find a loan club, „park“ him, show him a clear path and, above all, guarantee that the people who wanted to get him will still be there in the future
Bayern’s advantage over their Bundesliga rivals is that it is the easiest way to pay the total package of transfer fee, hand money and commission as well as salary. BVB are said to have already remarked internally that all of this together is quite a large framework. The salary expectations are said to be quite a lot for a 16-year-old
Bayern are well in the race, they have prepared themselves and are now waiting for the player’s side to inform the club of a commitment or rejection.
