Como are reported to be exploring a move for Karlsruher SC forward Louey Ben Farhat as the teenage second striker attracts interest from Serie A.
The 19-year-old, who holds Tunisian and German nationality, is currently valued at €3.00m amid growing speculation over his future in the 2. Bundesliga. According to transfer data, the proposed switch from Karlsruher to Como is at the rumour stage, with the probability of a deal still listed as unknown (marked “?”).
Ben Farhat only stepped up from Karlsruher’s under-19 side to the first team on 1 January 2025, having previously progressed through the youth ranks at FSV Waiblingen and Stuttgarter Kickers before joining the Baden club’s under-17s in 2022. Born in Waiblingen on 19 July 2006 and standing at 1.75m, he operates primarily as a second striker and is right-footed.
His emergence has been mirrored by a sharp rise in his valuation: from €300,000 in February 2025 to €500,000 a month later, before leaping to €3.00m by June 2025 and remaining at that level into December. That trajectory is likely to fuel talk of a move, particularly with no contract expiry date publicly listed, leaving observers to note the possibility that he could eventually run down his deal and leave as a free agent if no agreement is reached.
Ben Farhat has been involved for Karlsruher SC in the 2. Bundesliga, with his recent performances helping to trigger top-flight interest, although specific match data beyond the league context is not disclosed in the current records.
Como, established in Serie A and seeking to add younger attacking options, are monitoring developments closely. Should the transfer materialise, a step into Italy’s top division at 19 would represent a significant juncture in Ben Farhat’s career and could prove decisive in shaping both his reputation in European football and his international prospects for Tunisia or Germany.
