Maja Hitij/Getty Images Liverpool have received a boost in their pursuit of Hertha Berlin midfield talent Kennet Eichhorn, with the German becoming too expensive for Borussia Dortmund. The Reds have already presented their project to Eichhorn and are even speaking to clubs they could loan him to before he arrives at Anfield given his age.

Eichhorn has a release clause in his Hertha Berlin contract that clubs can trigger, but it is time limited. Now Liverpool look set to have to deal with one fewer club in the race for Eichhorn as Borussia Dortmund have cost concerns.

It has been suggested that Hertha Berlin midfielder would, despite the release clause, cost a total package of €20m. With Dortmund potentially out of the race for the 16-year-old, Liverpool still face competition from Bayern Munich, who have already spoken to Eichhorn and could hold an advantage in the battle for his signature.
