THE FUSE

Bayern have identified Eichhorn as a priority signing, with head coach Vincent Kompany said to be desperate to secure the youngster’s services. According to Sky Sport, the German champions have already held two meetings with the midfielder’s representatives to outline their vision for his development. To fend off rival interest, the record champions are reportedly prepared to offer the teenager a long-term contract until 2031, coupled with specific guarantees regarding his first-team involvement next season.
