Bayer Leverkusen is making headway in their pursuit of a talented young midfielder, engaging in serious discussions behind the scenes.
The Bundesliga club wants to establish themselves early in what could be a competitive race.
As reported by Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany, Leverkusen officials Simon Rolfes and Kim Falkenberg visited Berlin last week for talks with the player’s representatives.
This meeting shows their strong interest.
Several top clubs are also in the mix, including Bayern Munich, Barcelona, RB Leipzig, PSG, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, and Manchester United.
No agreements have been made yet.
The midfielder has a release clause priced between €10-12 million, effective this summer.
His profile has gained prominence recently among European scouts.
His name is Kennet Eichhorn.
Earlier this season, it was reported that Manchester United was monitoring the German midfielder, valued at £17 million, as scouts observed his progress in the 2. Bundesliga.
Interest in him has only grown since then.
Bayern Munich has also entered the fray for Kennet Eichhorn, showcasing how competitive the situation has become among Europe’s elite clubs.
Manchester United’s long-term strategy is also a factor.
With Casemiro set to leave the club this summer, strengthening the midfield is likely a priority.
This could put United in a strong position.
However, with Bayer Leverkusen actively pursuing the player and several giants interested, the race for Eichhorn is quickly intensifying as the summer transfer window approaches.
