Felix Kroos advises Eichhorn to stay patient and consider remaining in his current environment a while longer to develop.

The reporting frames the situation as real and imminent, with the market increasingly attentive and a threshold that could trigger movement soon.

If a transfer occurs, Eichhorn would likely need gradual integration into a pro squad, making a move in the near term potentially uncertain.

The article is part of Manchester Evening News coverage and includes standard promotional content that does not affect the core reporting.

Kroos has praised Eichhorn’s calm, composed style and willingness to learn, arguing a rapid move could hinder development and that longer stay at Hertha could boost market value.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s sports director would need to allocate significant funds and manage the timing of integrating Eichhorn into the first team if a deal advances.

Manchester United is weighing a long-term midfield option for Eichhorn, potentially viewing him as a future asset rather than an immediate starter.

Eichhorn signed a new contract in July, signaling Hertha’s intent to retain him amid ongoing development and potential offers.

A 16-year-old defensive midfielder at Hertha Berlin, Kennet Eichhorn, has drawn major transfer interest as Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Manchester City monitor him amid a rising market for top talent.

Hertha value Eichhorn at about €20 million and would consider offers near that figure, signaling a potential high-stakes move.

The teenager has made eight appearances in the 2. Bundesliga this season, attracting attention from elite scouts including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Bayer Leverkusen.

Experts note Eichhorn’s German-development-driven physicality could pose Premier League adaptation challenges, though continued progression could justify a step up.
