FC Bayern are pressing ahead with their plans for the midfield of the future – but the competition for Kennet Eichhorn is getting fiercer
According to information from Sky, RB Leipzig are continuing to work very intensively on a summer signing for the 17-year-old. Eichhorn is therefore high on the Saxons‘ internal list and is highly valued there. Leipzig are definitely interested, but do not just have to compete with FC Bayern in the poker game
Borussia Dortmund are also among the serious interested parties within the Bundesliga, and the race has long since become international. Several top clubs from Europe are keeping a close eye on the development of the German U17 international, and interest is also growing noticeably outside Germany
FC Bayern remains interested in Eichhorn
Eichhorn is still regarded as one of the most exciting talents for central midfield at Säbener Straße. According to Sky, sporting director Max Eberl and sporting director Christoph Freund can very well imagine signing the Hertha professional in the summer. Bayern see him as a strategic solution for the coming years – also with a view to the possible departure of Leon Goretzka
Eichhorn is not seen as an immediate help in Munich, but as a long-term investment. From Bayern’s point of view, his intelligence, robustness and overview make him a profile that fits perfectly into the planned development of the squad. His contract with Hertha BSC runs until 2027
The fact that RB Leipzig is now also getting serious increases the pressure on all parties involved. The Saxons have made a name for themselves in recent years as a development platform for top talent – an argument that is also likely to play a role in Eichhorn’s case. Added to this is the strong competition from abroad, which will further increase the player’s market value and attractiveness
One thing is clear for FC Bayern: if they want to sign Eichhorn, patience alone will not be enough. The poker game for one of Germany’s most sought-after midfield talents continues to gather pace – and the competition is not sleeping.
