Eintracht Frankfurt interested in Ben Farhat: KSC-Sportchef frustrated by transfer rumors
The KSC-Sportchef Mario Eggimann is frustrated by the transfer rumors around the 20-year-old forward Louey Ben Farhat. The young player has already changed teams four times this transfer period, so the transfer speculation around him is getting on Eggimann's nerves. "If you follow the social media, Louey has already changed teams four times this transfer period. I would sometimes advise people to read normal newspapers more often and follow the development that way", said Eggimann on the press conference before the league opener against Arminia Bielefeld.
The KSC, which had extended its contract with Ben Farhat last summer, is reportedly demanding much more than the six million euros in transfer fees that Eintracht Frankfurt has offered. "We have clearly positioned ourselves that there is a price", said Eggimann. In the meantime, clubs from England and France are also said to be interested in signing Ben Farhat.
The KSC-Sportchef is frustrated by the transfer rumors around Ben Farhat, but it is clear that the young player is also interesting for Eintracht Frankfurt. The club from Frankfurt has already offered six million euros in transfer fees for the 20-year-old forward. However, it is still unclear whether the KSC will accept this offer.
The KSC-Sportchef is willing to talk to clubs about a transfer of Ben Farhat, but only if they approach the player and the club with respect. "If a club really has a very concrete interest and approaches the player and us with respect, we are always willing to talk", said Eggimann. However, it is still unclear whether Eintracht Frankfurt or other clubs will be involved in the coming days or weeks around Ben Farhat.
