Report: Bayern Munich stepping up interest in Hertha Berlin prodigy Kennet Eichhorn

"Bayern have contacted Kennet Eichhorn's management and expressed a concrete interest in signing him. Other Bundesliga clubs as well as top international clubs are interested in the 16-year old midfielder. He's represented by '11Wins', the same agency that represents Jamal Musiala and Wisdom Mike, which gives Bayern a direct line to them."

"The competition for Eichhorn will be fierce. RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are expected to be Bayern Munich's chief domestic rivals for Eichhorn, but - as noted - several Premier League clubs are also likely to get into the bidding."

"How Eichhorn fits into the squad is another question. Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović are expected to eat up the majority of the playing time in the central midfield, with Tom Bischof likely to be the chief competition for minutes."

Bayern Munich has contacted the management of Hertha Berlin's 16-year-old midfielder Kennet Eichhorn to express concrete interest in signing him. Eichhorn is represented by the same agency that represents Jamal Musiala, providing Bayern a direct connection. Multiple top clubs are competing for the young talent, including domestic rivals RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund, as well as several Premier League teams. Bayern has the financial and roster capacity to pursue the deal following Leon Goretzka's expected departure. However, playing time availability remains uncertain, with Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović expected to dominate central midfield minutes, and Tom Bischof positioned as the primary backup.
