According to a report from Berliner Kurier journalist Wolfgang Heise, Bayern Munich could be attempting to make a swap deal in order to make a proposal for Hertha Berlin wunderkind Kennet Eichhorn a little more affordable.
The player who would go to Hertha Berlin? Maurice Krattenmacher, who is on loan with Hertha BSC from Bayern Munich and has tallied two goals and one assist in 21 games across all competitions this season:
Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern are currently engaged in a race in Germany for the best young player in Europe born in 2009. Dortmund is tempting Hertha Berlin and Eichhorn with even more money. Actually, the Ruhr club is in the lead.
But it’s not that simple. Another deal is also underway between Hertha and FC Bayern. The Blue-Whites are determined to keep winger Maurice Krattenmacher (20) after his one-year loan, ideally to buy him outright. Hertha’s managing director, Dr. Peter Görlich, confirmed this: “We are in talks with Bayern about Kratti; perhaps something will come of it.”
