FC Bayern have set their sights on another attacking talent from Germany. It has now been revealed that the Munich club are looking at Louey Ben Farhat from Karlsruher SC. The 19-year-old is said to be a possible future option for the record champions in attack
Bayern are currently tracking several young players who could strengthen the squad in the future, and are particularly on the lookout for talents in the center of attack who can develop behind Harry Kane in the long term
According to the latest reports, Louey Ben Farhat is one of the players being closely monitored in Munich. The attacking player has recently come to the fore with strong performances at Karlsruher SC and is regarded as one of the most interesting young profiles in German professional soccer
Bayern have already scouted Ben Farhat
Bayern scouts are said to have taken a closer look at the 19-year-old during a recent second division match, where Ben Farhat impressed not only with his technique but also with his goal threat
In the BILD podcast Bayern Insider, Heiko Niedderer confirms Munich’s interest: „That would of course be someone you could very well imagine – a 19-year-old who has already gained a bit of experience in the professional game.“
BILD head of soccer Christian Falk also reports that the attacker has already been scouted, including during the spectacular 3:3 win at Karlsruher SC
Prospective player behind Harry Kane
A potential transfer would fit into FC Bayern’s long-term squad planning, as the Munich club are not currently looking for a direct rival to Kane, but rather a young player with development potential
Farhat could fit this profile perfectly. At 19, he would have enough time to develop in the record champions‘ environment and gradually be introduced to the first team level
At the same time, the transfer would mean significantly less risk financially than an established Bundesliga star
Transfer fee in a manageable range
According to information from BILD, the market value of the attacking player is currently in the region of ten to twelve million euros, a transfer fee that Bayern could in principle afford
However, it remains to be seen whether a transfer will actually materialize. Young players in this category usually want regular playing time – a factor that cannot always be guaranteed at FC Bayern.
