The transfer saga surrounding Noah Atubolu is attracting a lot of attention this summer. It almost makes people forget that, here in Germany, the German goalkeeper is currently not the biggest loser in his position.
Bayer Leverkusen have secured one of Germany's brightest young talents after winning a heated race for Hertha Berlin sensation Kennet Eichhorn. The 16-year-old has reportedly passed a medical with the Bundesliga club ahead of a €9m transfer to BayArena, having decided to snub interest from Liverpool and RB Leipzig.
Liverpool have failed in their intensive efforts to sign Hertha BSC teenager Kennet Eichhorn. The highly-rated gem has officially rejected a lucrative switch to Anfield, prioritising his footballing development. The youngster wants to stay in Germany, sparking a fierce battle between Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig to secure his signature before the transfer window closes.
Because the overall financial package for Hertha's young talent Kennet Eichhorn was too big for the club, Bayern Munich's supervisory board reportedly stepped in and blocked the move, leaving the sport directorial team disappointed.
