Kennet Eichhorn’s €10–12m Summer Clause Puts Europe’s Giants on Alert

Despite the attention, the 16-year-old prioritises minutes at Hertha with no negotiations underway.

Overview

  • Sky Germany reports the Hertha Berlin midfielder’s contract runs to 2029 with a release clause activated next summer, expected to fall in the €10–12m range depending on buyer, competition level and destination.
  • Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have scouted him live, while Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint‑Germain, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are among clubs monitoring his progress.
  • Hertha and the player’s camp are described as relaxed about his future, with a stay considered possible and promotion increasing the likelihood he remains in Berlin.
  • Bild’s reporting, cited by multiple outlets, suggests Hertha hope to achieve a fee closer to €20m, highlighting a potential valuation gap once the clause becomes active.
  • Eichhorn has become a regular in the 2. Bundesliga at 16 after record‑setting early appearances, drawing stylistic comparisons to Toni Kroos as figures such as Felix Kroos urge a patient development path.
