Hertha’s 16-Year-Old Kennet Eichhorn Attracts Europe’s Elite as Next-Summer €10–12m Clause Is Reported

The midfielder is tied to 2029 and his camp is focused on playing time rather than a quick move.

Overview

  • Sky Germany reports a release clause in the €10–12m range will become active next summer, with the final amount dependent on factors such as buyer, competition level and country.
  • Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are cited as leading domestic trackers, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint‑Germain, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City also linked.
  • Scouts from top clubs have attended recent Hertha matches to watch Eichhorn, reflecting an intensifying race built on Sky’s reporting echoed across multiple outlets.
  • Hertha’s stance is that he is under contract until 2029, no negotiations are underway, a stay is possible and some reports suggest the club hopes for a higher fee than the clause implies.
  • Eichhorn became the youngest player in 2. Bundesliga history this season, has earned regular starts for Hertha and will miss the November 21 match through suspension after five yellow cards.
