Lfctransfers reporting Eichorn has said no to LFC. Wants to stay in Germany.

That's come from Plettigoal so I'd take that with a pinch of salt. There's a private jet from Berlin to Liverpool tomorrow.

Then straight into the Babelcopter. ?

Other German news outlets reporting the same. Apparently it's between Leipzig and Leverkusen now.

He literally cannot sign for us, he's only 16. He can only sign for EU clubs. We were never a viable option, as the only thing we can negotiate is a pre-agreement to purchase him at 18, which would force him to stay at his current 2nd division club.
With the attention he's garnered, that was clearly never going to happen. This one was a non-starter from the get-go.

Hold your horses. This is about navigating legalities and doing things properly.
It's still on.

Kenny Squirrel turning us down?
He must be nuts.

Apparently he will sign for a Bundesliga club with a release clause, which Liverpool will activate when he turns 18. The player's long term desire is to join Liverpool when he is able to. That's according to ITK Space anyway.

Not 100% true, Chewy. On the top level this would be correct, but there are ways to navigate it. For instance, the parents can relocate to the UK and then we apply for a FIFA permit for the under age player, etc.
There are ways, however, looks like he's staying in Germany.

As things stand, it's impossible. Relocating the parents isn't an option either. That can only happen if the parents relocate independently, for reasons unrelated to football. If his family did relocate, there would be an investigation, and we'd likely be hit with a hefty fine, a transfer ban and nulling of the player's contract.

I'm just saying it can and has and will again happen.
Where there is a will there is a way.

Seems to be that there is no will.
