Dortmund Intensify Move for Hertha Teen Kenneth Eichhorn in €12 Million Race

His demand for immediate Champions League minutes limits viable bids to Germany’s top clubs.

Overview

  • Borussia Dortmund sporting director Ole Book met Kenneth Eichhorn in April, a step reported to have strengthened BVB’s position.
  • The 16-year-old can reportedly leave Hertha this summer by triggering a €12 million release clause in a contract that runs through 2029.
  • Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen remain in pursuit, with Eintracht Frankfurt now viewed as falling out of contention.
  • His family is said to insist on immediate, meaningful minutes at a regular Champions League club, which rules out buy-and-loan plans.
  • English clubs are largely out for now because Brexit rules bar under‑18 foreign signings until he turns 18 in 2027.
