🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Bundesliga’s superstar Omar Marmoush could be the new replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool’s board has expressed strong interest in signing Eintracht Frankfurt’s rising star, Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian forward has had an outstanding start to the new season, tallying nine goals and six assists in just nine games across all competitions for the German side.
Liverpool’s most recent signing was Federico Chiesa, who joined the club in August. Since his arrival, the Italian winger has only appeared in two matches under new manager Arne Slot. Chiesa’s debut came in a 3-0 Premier League victory over Bournemouth, where he was on the pitch for just 19 minutes. Despite this high-profile signing, Liverpool fans were left disappointed, as they expected the club to make more additions to the squad, particularly with a new manager at the helm. Many supporters felt the club’s activity in the transfer market paled in comparison to other Premier League teams, which strengthened more significantly during the summer window.
One major concern driving Liverpool’s interest in Marmoush is Mohamed Salah’s uncertain future at the club. Salah’s contract expires next summer, and there have been persistent rumors linking him with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League, with a potential contract offer that could surpass Cristiano Ronaldo’s deal at Al-Nassr. As a result, the club is seeking a player who could potentially fill the void Salah might leave behind. Marmoush, a 25-year-old Egyptian international, has emerged as a strong candidate, given his impressive form in the Bundesliga.
Marmoush joined Eintracht Frankfurt for the 2023/24 season and quickly made an impact, scoring 12 goals in 29 appearances during his debut campaign. This season, he has elevated his game even further, becoming one of the Bundesliga’s top scorers with eight goals in six league matches. His recent performance in a 3-3 draw against Bayern Munich, where he scored twice and provided an assist, further cemented his reputation as one of the league’s most exciting talents. His contributions helped Frankfurt climb to third place in the Bundesliga standings.
Frankfurt has reportedly valued Marmoush at approximately £33 million and is keen to keep him at the club. However, the growing interest from top European teams, including Liverpool, poses a significant challenge to their hopes of securing a contract extension with the player. Although the German club has already offered Marmoush a new deal, the player is reportedly weighing his options, especially given Liverpool’s potential pursuit.
As Marmoush prepares for Egypt’s upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification matches, his future remains uncertain. It is likely that developments in the coming weeks will determine whether he remains in Frankfurt or makes a high-profile move to Anfield. Given his current form and growing recognition among football fans, it seems only a matter of time before a serious bid is made for his services.
