Semenyo signed an improved deal on the South Coast in 2025, and the release clause inserted in his deal allowed him to move on without a hitch when Manchester City came calling during the January transfer window.Meanwhile, Liverpool is not the front-runner in the race to sign Kennet Eichhorn, despite reports to the contrary.German outlet Kicker says that Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig are the two favorites to land Eichhorn, who has emerged as one of the most hotly tipped teenagers in Europe in recent times.Liverpool is not helped in the race to sign Eicchorn by a regulation that came into play following Brexit.Kennet Eichhorn is being linked with a move to Liverpool(Image: Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto)Eichhorn, a central midfielder for Hertha Berlin, is only 16 years old, and English clubs are not allowed to sign players that are under 18 due to Brexit regulations.Liverpool would be permitted to sign Eichhorn on a pre-contract agreement this summer, but he would not be allowed to officially sign for the Reds until he turns 18 in July 2027.However, according to Sky Germany , Eichhorn is planning to leave Hertha this summer.
A release clause of around €10 million to €12 million ($11.6M to $14M) is reportedly in place on his contract.Eichhorn was included in Hertha’s matchday squad for the opening game of the 2025/26 season, and although he didn’t make his way off the bench that day, a senior debut followed just a week later as he became the 2. Bundesliga’s youngest debutant at just 16 years and 14 days old.The teenager has since become a regular in Hertha’s side, making 19 senior appearances.His goal in the 6-1 win over Kaisersalutern in the third round of the DFB-Pokal in December saw him become the club’s youngest-ever scorer, and led to him claiming Jude Bellingham’s record for the youngest scorer in the competition since the Second World War.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTransfers
