"The midfield area of the squad may see a new addition at Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window. The Bavarian club managed to bring down the average age of their midfield department last summer by parting ways with Joao Palhinha and signing Tom Bischof from Hoffenheim on a free transfer. Die Roten are expected to see another senior departure in the summer as Leon Goretzka is nearing the end of his contract. As things stand, the German midfielder will not get a new deal."
"Meanwhile, Bayern are stepping up the pursuit of a young German midfielder who will replace Goretzka. According to Sky Sports in Germany (via iMiaSanMia), Bayern have intensified their efforts to sign Kenneth Eichhorn from Hertha BSC in the summer. The 16-year-old midfielder is excelling with the senior team at Hertha this season. Die Roten will face competition from European clubs, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig for the signing of Eichhorn."
Bayern Munich are targeting Kenneth Eichhorn as a potential long-term replacement for Leon Goretzka, who is unlikely to receive a contract extension and is expected to leave in the summer. The club reduced its midfield average age last summer by selling Joao Palhinha and signing Tom Bischof. Eichhorn, 16, has made 14 senior appearances for Hertha and can operate in central and defensive midfield roles. A €10–12 million release clause exists in his contract. Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and other European clubs are interested. Bayern are urged to take the financial risk to secure his development under a strong youth environment.
