Sunderland consider move for Karlsruher SC forward Louey Ben Farhat

Tunisian-German forward Louey Ben Farhat is the Karlsruher SC player Sunderland are being linked with as the Premier League club assess a potential move for the 20-year-old.

Ben Farhat plays as a second striker and has made 33 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga, scoring nine goals and providing two assists. His performances have placed him on Sunderland’s radar during the current transfer window.

The Waiblingen-born attacker joined Karlsruher SC’s senior setup from the club’s under-19 side in January 2025. He had previously progressed through Karlsruher’s youth system after moving from Stuttgarter Kickers in 2022.

Ben Farhat’s market value is listed at €10m, while his contract with Karlsruher runs until 30 June 2029. That agreement means the German club are under no immediate pressure to sell and would be expected to determine the terms of any potential departure.

Sunderland’s interest would represent a move from Germany’s second tier to the Premier League for Ben Farhat, who has spent his entire senior club career with Karlsruher. The available information does not indicate that an agreement has been reached or that negotiations are at an advanced stage.

For now, Ben Farhat remains a Karlsruher player under contract through the end of June 2029.
