Bayern Munich ready to spend big on young midfield sensation
"Bayern Munich have provided a fine platform to Lennart Karl this season to excel in the first team. Vincent Kompany has given the youngster an adequate amount of game time in Hinrunde to show his quality. Karl also deserves credit for making the most of these opportunities by becoming the youngest player to score in three consecutive Champions League games."
"Similar to Karl, Kennet Eichhorn is also making an impact for Hertha's senior team at a very young age. The 16-year-old midfielder has broken into Hertha BSC's starting XI this season. Eichhorn has made nine starts in 2. Bundesliga this season. He scored his first senior goal for Hertha in the DFB Pokal clash against Kaiserslautern at the start of December."
"From Eichhorn's perspective, the interest from Bayern will be a big boost to his confidence. However, he needs to play regularly at this age. He is getting regular gametime at Hertha BSC, which may not be the case at Die Roten. In the meantime, playing for Bayern's first team and training with world-class players will also help his development. Considering the high fee Bayern are reportedly ready to pay for Eichhorn, it shows that the Bavarian club rates him very highly."
Bayern Munich provided Lennart Karl with significant first-team opportunities this season, and Vincent Kompany gave him substantial game time in the Hinrunde. Karl became the youngest player to score in three consecutive Champions League matches. Kennet Eichhorn, 16, has broken into Hertha BSC's starting XI, making nine 2. Bundesliga starts and scoring his first senior goal in the DFB-Pokal against Kaiserslautern. Bayern are reported to be interested in Eichhorn and prepared to offer a full package close to €25 million. Eichhorn's contract runs until 2027 with a €12.5 million release clause. Regular playing time at Hertha is important for his development.
