FC Bayern are still on the lookout for young attacking talent – and have apparently found what they are looking for in the Bundesliga 2. Scouts from the record champions were on site at the match between Karlsruher SC and Dynamo Dresden to take a closer look at attacker Louey Ben Farhat
The 19-year-old attacker is one of the great discoveries of the current second division season and has already attracted the interest of numerous top clubs with his performances
As Karlsruhe sporting director Timon Pauls confirmed to Badische Neueste Nachrichten, several prominent scouts were in the stadium during the 3:3 against Dynamo Dresden
In addition to FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, representatives from Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Olympique Lyon, OGC Nice, Como 1907 and Atalanta Bergamo are also said to have been present
According to the report, Louey Ben Farhat was the main focus of the observers
Strong numbers in the Bundesliga 2
The young attacker is having an impressive season for Karlsruher SC, scoring five goals and providing two assists in 11 second division games
With his dynamic dribbling, pace and attacking instinct, the 19-year-old has quickly developed into one of the league’s most exciting talents
Record transfer possible for KSC
Karlsruher SC is aware of the growing demand. According to Badische Neueste Nachrichten, the second division club is looking at a transfer fee of ten to twelve million euros for a potential transfer in the summer. That would be the highest transfer fee in the club’s history. The current market value is estimated at three million euros
Ben Farhat still has a contract with KSC until 2029, which puts the club in a comfortable negotiating position
A transfer of the 19-year-old would fit in with FC Bayern’s current strategy, with the Munich club increasingly focusing on signing young talent at an early stage and developing them on campus
However, it remains to be seen whether Bayern will actually get serious in the summer or whether other interested parties will act more quickly. One thing is clear: Louey Ben Farhat is currently one of the hottest talents in the German lower leagues.
