Eintracht Frankfurt are on the verge of signing Louey Ben Farhat from 2. Bundesliga side Karlsruhe SC for a fee between €9 and €10 million, according to multiple reports. The 19-year-old forward has already agreed personal terms with the Bundesliga club, as reported by Sky Germany, with the deal expected to be finalized in the coming days.
Karlsruhe are believed to be holding out for a €10 million fee, while Frankfurt’s initial offer was reported by Kicker.de to be €9 million. Despite the slight difference in valuation, sources suggest an agreement is likely, with ongoing discussions focusing on potential sell-on clauses and performance-related bonuses. The Hessen club are keen to secure the promising young talent quickly.
Ben Farhat has emerged as a key player for Karlsruhe, demonstrating considerable potential in the second tier of German football. He has shown a knack for scoring and creating opportunities, attracting the attention of several Bundesliga clubs. His arrival at Frankfurt would provide competition and depth to their attacking options.
In a separate move, Eintracht Frankfurt have allowed Benjamin Dzanovic to join Admira Wacker in Austria. The club confirmed the 18-year-old’s transfer to the Austrian outfit, with Admira Wacker not paying a transfer fee for the attacking player. Dzanovic’s departure suggests Frankfurt are streamlining their youth setup to make room for new acquisitions like Ben Farhat.
Frankfurt’s pursuit of Ben Farhat signals their intent to invest in young talent as they look to build a competitive squad for the upcoming Bundesliga season. The addition of the Karlsruhe forward could provide a long-term solution in attack and enhance Frankfurt’s overall attacking threat.
