Freiburg Grätscht Eintracht for €10 million Jewel in Final Stretch

Louey Ben Farhat's market value has surged to €10 million after his breakout season with Karlsruher SC, sparking a transfer tug‑of‑war as Eintracht Frankfurt and SC Freiburg vie for the 20‑year‑old before the 1 September deadline.

The 20‑year‑old offensive talent, dubbed the KSC‑Juwel, has been at the centre of intense Gerüchte for weeks. An oral Einigung was reportedly reached in June between Eintracht Frankfurt and the player’s camp, and Farhat has repeatedly said his Herzenswunsch is a move to the Main.

Financial gap stalls deal

Despite the clear intention, the Transfer has stalled over differing financial Vorstellungen. Frankfurt is said to have offered around nine Millionen Euro, while Karlsruher SC insists on a zweistellige Millionen‑Ablöse. Sport‑Geschäftsführer Mario Eggimann stated, "Wir haben uns ganz klar positioniert, dass es einen Preis hat."

Farhat remains under contract with Karlsruher SC until 2029, giving the club no Verkaufsdruck. The Badener also demand a Weiterverkaufsbeteiligung, adding another layer to the negotiations.

Freiburg joins the race

Suddenly, SC Freiburg has shown Interesse, entering the poker as reported by transfer‑Experte Florian Plettenberg. The Breisgauer are already in concrete Gesprächen with the player’s Lager, presenting a fresh challenge for the Frankfurt side.

KSC‑Trainer Maximilian Senft warned that the youngster is in a "herausfordernden Situation" and has prepared for "alle Szenarien" ahead of the 1 September deadline.

With the Deadline Day approaching, the market sees several Erstligisten keeping the Juwel on their Radar. The high Marktwert and strong Leistungen in the Karlsruher Trikot have made Farhat one of the biggest Gewinner of the recent Zweitliga‑Saison, intensifying the competition for his signature.
