Borussia Dortmund are being linked with a move for Karlsruher SC forward Louey Ben Farhat as the 19-year-old’s future in the 2. Bundesliga continues to attract scrutiny.
Reports in Germany have placed the Tunisia‑ and Germany‑eligible second striker on Dortmund’s radar, with the Bundesliga club monitoring his situation at Karlsruher, where his contract details are yet to be clarified and no expiry date is publicly listed. That uncertainty has sparked talk that he could potentially run down his deal and move as a free agent if no agreement is reached.
Ben Farhat, born on 19 July 2006 in Waiblingen and standing at 1.75m, has a current estimated market value of €3.00m, according to data updated in December 2025. That figure has risen sharply over the past year, climbing from €300,000 in February 2025 and €500,000 in March 2025 to the €3m mark by June, underlining his rapid development at senior level.
The versatile right‑footed attacker, whose main role is as a second striker, stepped up from Karlsruher SC’s U19s to the first team on 1 January 2025, having previously progressed through the club’s U17 side after youth spells with Stuttgarter Kickers and FSV Waiblingen. All of his club football to date has been in Germany.
Karlsruher SC, currently in the 2. Bundesliga, have used him predominantly in attacking positions behind the main centre‑forward. His performances last season, including a notable outing in a recent 2. Bundesliga fixture for Karlsruher against [opponent not specified in available data] earlier this campaign, have helped draw the attention of top‑flight scouts, though no fee or structure has yet been reported and the probability of any move remains officially listed as “?”.
With Dortmund renowned for developing young forwards, any switch to Signal Iduna Park – whether for a fee aligned with his €3m valuation or, in time, as a free agent – would represent a significant step in Ben Farhat’s career and could prove decisive in shaping his reputation at both Bundesliga and international level.
