Share This Article:

Bayer Leverkusen are being linked with a move for Karlsruher SC forward Louey Ben Farhat, with the teenager rated at €7.50m and the probability of a deal currently put at 56%.

The 19-year-old, who plays primarily as a second striker, is attracting attention after emerging at 2. Bundesliga side Karlsruher, where he wears the No 19 shirt. Data from Transfermarkt suggests Leverkusen are monitoring the dual-nationality talent as they weigh up attacking reinforcements from within Germany.

Born on 19 July 2006 in Waiblingen, Ben Farhat holds both Tunisian and German nationality and stands at 1.75m. A right-footed attacker, he is listed as operating mainly in an attacking support role rather than as an out‑and‑out centre-forward.

His current contractual situation at Karlsruher SC is unclear, with no recorded expiry date on his deal. That uncertainty has fuelled speculation that the youngster could become a free agent in the near future or at least be available at a fee closely aligned with his current market valuation of €7.50m.

Ben Farhat has been featuring in Germany’s second tier with Karlsruher SC, gaining experience in the 2. Bundesliga rather than the top flight, and continues to be registered with the club’s set-up at both domestic and youth level. Recent performance data, including individual match statistics such as goals and assists in specific fixtures, has not been formally documented in the available sources, meaning detailed analysis of his latest outings – including opponents, scorelines and contributions – remains limited.

For now, the rumoured switch remains at the discussion stage, but a move to Leverkusen and the Bundesliga would represent a significant step up for Ben Farhat and could prove pivotal in shaping his senior career, his international prospects for Tunisia or Germany, and his broader reputation as one of the more intriguing young forwards in German football.
