Louey Ben Farhat, 19 years old, will not be at the World Cup as he considers himself not ready. His absence has caused great surprise in Tunisia.

An emerging talent with unexpected decisions

The decision of Louey Ben Farhat, a 19-year-old player from Karlsruher in Bundesliga 2, not to participate in the upcoming World Cup has left everyone astonished. The national coach, Sabri Lamouchi, revealed that after receiving a call from the player's father, he refused to be part of the tournament, claiming it was not the right time.

Promising debut with the national team

Louey had recently debuted with the senior national team of Tunisia, playing two friendly matches in March. His dual German-Tunisian nationality had raised expectations in the country and settled the debate about his final selection of teams.

Interests and speculations about his future

The attacking midfielder is attracting interest from Bayern Munich, but there are rumors in Germany that his family fears a poor performance in the World Cup could harm his career. With a market value of 7.5 million euros, the possibility of joining the German national team in the future is also being considered after his withdrawal from the call-up for the summer tournament.
