Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed that the Munich club is closely monitoring Hertha Berlin starlet Kenneth Eichhorn. The 16-year-old prodigy has become one of the most sought-after teenagers in European football following his standout performances for the capital club. The race for Eichhorn is heating up, and Bayern has no intention of falling behind. This is reported by Goal.com .
Speaking to Bild before Bayern's 3-0 DFB-Pokal final victory against Stuttgart, Eberl openly admitted that the club is tracking the young player who has made a name for himself in the 2. Bundesliga. "If we weren't interested in players like Kenny Eichhorn, we wouldn't be doing our job," Eberl said.
Despite his age, Eichhorn has become an integral part of the first team, making 17 appearances for Hertha this season. This has attracted the attention of giants like Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund. Although the interest is serious, Eberl expressed caution regarding an immediate deal.
The young midfielder is expected to leave Berlin this summer, though his next destination remains uncertain. Eberl added that they are currently evaluating how the player's and his management's plans align with the club's vision. Eichhorn is not the only name being discussed in the corridors of the Allianz Arena.
Eberl also touched on the possibility of bringing Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United to Munich. The Bayern executive confirmed that strengthening the attacking line is a priority for the upcoming transfer window. "If the financial opportunity arises, we have agreed to sign an attacking player," he explained.
