Overview
- Sky Sport Germany reports Manchester City plan to trigger Kennet Eichhorn’s release clause this summer and loan him to Bayer Leverkusen.
- The clause is widely reported at €10–12 million, becomes active this summer, and varies by Hertha’s league status, the buyer’s country, and European participation.
- Rival interest remains strong from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Leverkusen, and Dortmund sporting director Ole Book said they like the player.
- Bild has signaled Hertha could sell and immediately re-loan the midfielder, showing openness to a development-first move.
- Eichhorn has about 18 senior appearances for Hertha this season and became the youngest scorer in 2. Bundesliga history at 16 years and 287 days, lifting his market appeal.
