Kennet Eichhorn is one of the discoveries of this second division season. The 16-year-old from Hertha BSC made his debut in August shortly after his birthday, making him the youngest professional in the history of the 2nd Bundesliga. Top clubs at home and abroad have long since become aware of the exceptional talent, which is likely to have an impact on his market value. In the October update this climbed from 3 million to a league-unrivaled 6 million euros – and in the next update on December 16th? Bring your arguments into the discussion now and help decide on the new market values - here you can go straight to the market value analysis.
In Germany, Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund are associated with Eichhorn. Scouts from abroad are also said to regularly visit Berlin’s Olympic Stadium to observe the defensive midfielder – from FC Barcelona to Liverpool FC to Arsenal FC or Paris Saint-Germain. Logical: With the second most valuable player of his year, the club officials would probably have missed their job if the player wasn’t in the notebooks.
In the market value analysis, users are currently demanding an increase to almost 15 million euros for Eichhorn, which is closer to Hertha BSC’s pain threshold, which should be at least 20 million euros. “Sky”, on the other hand, recently reported that the teenager has an exit clause from next summer, the amount of which varies. The upper limit should be around 10 million to 12 million euros. “You really quickly forget that he’s 16, 16! At 18 that would be extraordinary, being an extended regular player at 16 is brutal,” writes “Marsupilami”, which would put Eichhorn’s market value at 15 million euros.

The valuations of Francis Onyeka and Soufiane El-Faouzi, who are currently valued at one million and 1.5 million euros respectively, are also likely to go up significantly in December. Onyeka quickly established himself on loan from Leverkusen at VfL Bochum and scored four goals in ten games. The TM users currently place the 18-year-old’s new market value at 5 million euros. “The face of Bochum’s upswing. The performances are absolutely strong for his age. Add to that the personal award with the Fritz Walter Medal. He simply has a lot of potential and is showing it at a young age. The transfer fees for talents from the 2nd league have also increased significantly in recent years. He is also already under contract with a CL club. The loan without a knockout clearly shows that Bayer believes in him,” emphasizes “RoterZorro”, who even gives him a market value of 8 million euros.
In similar regions, users also see Schalke’s El-Faouzi with an average demand of around 4 million euros. “Is the engine in the midfield. He also follows the path in stoppage time. Is influential for Schalke’s game both defensively and offensively. He also impresses with his strong passing game in the offensive. On the defensive, he doesn’t shy away from tackles. Is currently in the top second division level and also has good potential for the first Bundesliga,” says “BlauerHimmel”, for example, about the 23-year-old, who was a bargain in the summer 200,000 euros came from Alemannia Aachen. According to the player’s agent, there are already “many inquiries from clubs” for El-Faouzi.

This is how transfer market market values work
The transfer market market values are created taking into account various pricing models as well as a strong involvement of the transfer market community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market market values cannot generally be equated with the transfer fees actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but rather an expected value. When determining the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples of this are listed here. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
