Liverpool’s reported interest in Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmoush has gained traction, with recent developments potentially giving the Reds an edge in the race to sign the Egyptian forward. Marmoush, who has been in sensational form in the Bundesliga this season, is also on the radar of Premier League rivals Manchester City and Arsenal.
Marmoush’s Impressive Season
The 25-year-old has been a standout performer for Frankfurt, netting 18 goals and providing 12 assists in all competitions this term. His versatility has been a key asset, excelling as a central striker while also being deployed on the left wing and in midfield. With such form, Marmoush has drawn comparisons to his compatriot and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, making him an enticing prospect for the Reds.
No Active Talks Between Frankfurt and Man City
Recent reports suggested that Manchester City had moved ahead of Liverpool in the race for Marmoush’s signature. However, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Frankfurt are not currently in talks with City over the player, and no bids have been received for the forward. Additionally, Marmoush has not indicated a desire to leave Frankfurt in January, suggesting that a transfer could be more likely in the summer.
Liverpool’s Transfer Window Opportunity
With the January transfer window open, Liverpool have until February 3 to finalise any potential deals. Adding a player of Marmoush’s calibre could provide a significant boost to the squad, especially as the club looks to secure a strong finish to the season.
Frankfurt reportedly value Marmoush at around €60 million (£50 million). Given that he joined the Bundesliga side on a free transfer in the summer of 2023, any sale would represent a significant profit for the German club.
A Perfect Fit for Liverpool?
Marmoush’s goal-scoring ability, versatility, and potential to follow Salah’s trajectory make him a prime target for Liverpool. While competition from City and Arsenal could complicate the deal, the recent update on Marmoush’s status provides Liverpool with a clearer path to securing the forward.
As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will make their move now or wait until the summer. However, Marmoush’s talent and form suggest he could be an exciting addition to Jurgen Klopp’s squad in the near future.
