Bayer Leverkusen are being linked with a move for Karlsruher SC forward Louey Ben Farhat, with the 19-year-old second striker reportedly a 52% probability to swap the 2. Bundesliga for the Bundesliga.
The German-born Tunisia-Germany dual national, currently valued at €7.50m, is emerging as one of Karlsruher’s brightest attacking prospects and has attracted interest from the reigning Bundesliga club, according to data compiled on 11 April 2026. The speculation centres on a permanent transfer rather than a free-agent switch, although his contract details at the Wildparkstadion are not publicly disclosed, leaving room for uncertainty around any potential fee or future expiry.
Ben Farhat, who wears the number 19 shirt for Karlsruher, operates primarily as a second striker on the right foot and stands at 1.75m. Born in Waiblingen on 19 July 2006, he has developed within the German system and is already tested in the 2. Bundesliga, giving Leverkusen detailed data on his suitability for a step up in level.
The forward’s market value of €7.50m forms the current reference point for negotiations and underlines how quickly his stock has risen for a teenager still in the early stages of his senior career. Any move this summer would be framed against that valuation, with Leverkusen weighing whether to invest now or to monitor his progress until closer to a future contract deadline, when a reduced fee or free-agent scenario could come into play.
No agreement is in place and there has been no confirmation from either club, but the numbers around the rumour – including the 52% probability – suggest the interest is serious rather than speculative. If the transfer does materialise, a switch from Karlsruher SC to Leverkusen would represent a major leap in profile for Ben Farhat and could become a defining step in shaping his long-term career trajectory at the top of German football.
