Leverkusen linked with move for teenage forward Louey Ben Farhat
Bayer Leverkusen are reported to be tracking Karlsruher SC second striker Louey Ben Farhat, with the highly rated teenager rumoured to be a target ahead of a potential summer move from the 2. Bundesliga to the Bundesliga.
The 19‑year‑old, who holds both Tunisian and German nationality, is currently valued at €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt, after a sharp rise in his market worth over the past year. His contract details at Karlsruher SC have not been made public, prompting suggestions that Leverkusen could look to exploit any uncertainty, including the possibility of him running down his deal and becoming a free agent in a future window.
Ben Farhat, born on 19 July 2006 in Waiblingen and standing at 1.75m, operates primarily as an attacking second striker and is right‑footed. He has progressed entirely through German youth football, starting at FSV Waiblingen’s youth set‑up before spells with Stuttgarter Kickers Youth, Karlsruher SC U17 and Karlsruher SC U19. He was promoted to Karlsruher’s first team on 1 January 2025 and is currently part of the senior squad in the 2. Bundesliga.
His market value has ballooned from €300,000 in February 2025 to €3.00m by June 2025, a figure that has been maintained in the latest update in December 2025, underlining how quickly his reputation has grown. The latest rumour, logged on 9 March 2026, lists the probability of a transfer as “?”, indicating that talks, if any, are at an early and speculative stage.
No specific recent match details or standout individual displays have been formally documented in the provided data, but Leverkusen’s interest reflects growing recognition of his potential. A move to the Bundesliga, should it materialise, would mark a significant step in Ben Farhat’s development and could prove pivotal in shaping both his international prospects and long‑term career trajectory.
