Sky Germany: €10–12m Clause Puts Hertha 16-Year-Old Kennet Eichhorn on Elite Clubs' Radar

The option becomes active next summer, creating a rare low-cost opening despite his contract running to 2029.

Overview

  • Sky Germany reports Eichhorn’s release clause is in the €10–12m range, with the final figure dependent on factors such as Hertha’s promotion status, the buyer’s country and the competition level.
  • The exit clause becomes valid from summer 2026, even though the midfielder’s deal with Hertha BSC runs through 2029.
  • Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have tracked him closely, with club representatives recently attending a Hertha match to watch him live.
  • Interest from abroad includes Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, with Manchester United linked and Liverpool and Arsenal also cited in German and UK reports.
  • The 16-year-old has become a regular starter and set age records in the 2. Bundesliga, while his camp is described as relaxed with no talks underway; he will miss Hertha’s next game against Eintracht Braunschweig on November 21 due to suspension.
