Manchester City faces a major setback in their pursuit of Kennet Eichhorn as Liverpool steps into the fray with serious intentions. This development could reshape the transfer landscape, especially for the young midfielder.
Eichhorn, just 16 years old, has drawn attention for his impressive performances at Hertha Berlin and is a key target for City. Earlier reports suggested that City was optimistic about securing a deal, proposing a plan for Eichhorn to join their network and spend two seasons on loan at Bayer Leverkusen. This strategy aims to keep him in Germany while committing to City’s long-term vision.
However, Liverpool is now making moves, reportedly engaging in "concrete talks" to secure the Germany Under-17 international. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Reds are serious about signing Eichhorn, with a release clause estimated between €10-12 million.
Liverpool's recent campaign saw them qualify for the Champions League, despite a disappointing draw against Brentford on the final day. Manager Arne Slot expressed pride in his squad's resilience throughout a challenging season. The competition for Eichhorn intensifies, and both clubs are eager to add this rising star to their ranks.
