After a disappointing season, the Reds are expected to rebuild their squad in the summer, including signing top players and adding youth talent. The Reds have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Samuel Martinez from Atletico Nacional. Bayern are pushing to sign 16-year-old wonderkid Kennet Eichhorn, with plans discussed internally and a release clause set at €12m. Multiple clubs are also pursuing Eichhorn, including Manchester City, and Bundesliga rivals such as Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig could offer playing time. Bayern point to Lennart Karl’s development as evidence of their pathway. Liverpool have joined the race, and concrete talks have been held. Eichhorn plans to leave Hertha BSC, but competition makes the move difficult.
"It is TRUE: Bayern are pulling out all the stops to try and sign Kennet Eichhorn.I heard that he was a big topic during Monday's meeting last week between the supervisory board and Max Eberl when they made their plans for the summer. They want to go for him, and they want to pay for him (the release clause is just €12m [£10.3m])."
"The problem remains that there are many clubs that are also behind this player, like Manchester City, who want to sign the 16-year-old before sending him out on loan to Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern Munich are also aware of the fact that there are other Bundesliga clubs that would be able to offer a lot of playing time to the midfielder. Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, among them. This is a problem for Bayern."
"That said, they do also have a strong argument on their side - they can point to Lennart Karl's development. He's only 18 years of age and has enjoyed plenty of minutes in the 2025/26 season under Vincent Kompany. So this offers some hope for Bayern Munich and gets a foot in the door for the Eichhorn transfer. According to Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool have now joined the race for Eichhorn as well."
"The Sky Germany journalist claims that the Reds have held concrete talks to bring the youngster to Anfield in the summer window. Eichhorn is planning to leave Hertha BSC in the summer, but with so many clubs interested, it will not be easy for Bayern or others."
