Bayer Leverkusen are being linked with a move for Karlsruher SC forward Louey Ben Farhat, with the 19‑year‑old second striker rated at €7.50m and the transfer currently given a 61% probability.
The Bundesliga champions are reported to be monitoring the German‑born Tunisia and Germany youth prospect, who plays primarily as a second striker and wears the number 19 shirt for Karlsruher SC in the 2. Bundesliga. Data from Transfermarkt lists his current market value at €7.50m, a figure expected to frame any negotiations should Leverkusen firm up their interest.
Ben Farhat’s contractual situation could also be significant. No fixed expiry date is registered on public databases, prompting speculation that Karlsruher may have to decide soon whether to cash in or risk the teenager edging towards free‑agent territory if his deal runs down.
Born on 19 July 2006 in Waiblingen, the right‑footed attacker has come through the German system but is also eligible for Tunisia, reflecting his dual nationality. Standing at 1.75m, he has been used primarily in an attacking support role, operating between the lines rather than as a traditional centre‑forward.
He is currently listed with Karlsruher SC and competing in the 2. Bundesliga, with his performances there driving interest from the top flight. The reported link to Leverkusen would mark a substantial step up, from Germany’s second tier into a side regularly competing at the top end of the Bundesliga and in European competition.
With the rumour classified at a moderate 61% likelihood and no official announcement from either club, the situation remains at the speculation stage. If the move does materialise, it would offer Ben Farhat a major platform to accelerate his development and shape his reputation as one of the most intriguing young forwards of his generation in German football.
