Liverpool has plans to buy Kennet Eichhorn directly and loan him to a club competing internationally. According to the BBC, this plan is not possible due to Brexit, as English teams cannot sign players under 18 or subsequently loan them. The BBC states that the only feasible way would be the 'South America model', where Eichhorn would sign a contract with Liverpool now which would only become effective on his 18th birthday. However, the BBC notes that this is unlikely due to strong competition.
