Annoyed by transfer rumors about Ben Farhat: KSC sports director targeted by Frankfurt

Karlsruher SC's sporting director, Mario Eggimann, has voiced his annoyance over persistent transfer speculation surrounding young star Louey Ben Farhat, who is reportedly a target for Eintracht Frankfurt. Eggimann advised fans to rely on traditional media rather than social media, where Ben Farhat has seemingly been linked with multiple moves this transfer window.

“

If you follow social media, Louey has already moved four times this transfer period. I would sometimes recommend people to read normal newspapers more often and follow the development.

Reports suggest Frankfurt has offered six million euros for the 20-year-old offensive player. However, KSC, having extended Ben Farhat's contract last summer, is seeking a significantly higher fee. Eggimann confirmed that while the club will engage in discussions with interested clubs, they have "clearly positioned" themselves that there is a "price" for the player.

Clubs from England and France are also said to be interested in acquiring Ben Farhat. Eggimann emphasized that KSC will not be pressured by the public or media "games." He added that the club remains open to talking if a club shows concrete interest and approaches the player and KSC respectfully.

“

We have clearly positioned ourselves that there is a price.

Meanwhile, Ben Farhat could be part of the KSC squad for their upcoming league match against Arminia Bielefeld. However, his potential participation depends on a last-minute decision, according to new coach Maximilian Senft. Ben Farhat has been sidelined for much of the preseason due to dental surgery but was able to participate fully in training this week.

“

If a club really has very concrete interest and treats the player and us respectfully, we are always ready to talk.
