There's been quite a buzz around Omar Marmoush lately, as it seems he's caught the attention of Liverpool. The club is reportedly eyeing him as a potential replacement for their star player, Mohamed Salah. In fact, they've even gone as far as to officially register their interest with Marmoush's representatives.
The 25-year-old forward joined Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer in 2023 and has since been making quite the name for himself. His debut season with the club was nothing short of impressive, with 12 goals and six assists in the Bundesliga. And this season, he's already racked up nine goals and four assists, drawing the attention of top teams across Europe.
According to German publication SportBILD, Marmoush's performances have not gone unnoticed, with more and more clubs showing interest in him. Liverpool, in particular, has made contact with the player's entourage to express their interest. While they were initially well-stocked in attack and did not make an offer during the summer transfer window, they are now seriously considering a bid for Marmoush, should Salah decide not to extend his stay beyond 2025.
Currently valued at around €50m-€60million by Eintracht, Marmoush's price tag is expected to rise significantly if he continues to shine in the German top flight this season. And with Salah's contract also set to expire in 2025, it's no wonder that Liverpool is keeping a close eye on the situation.
Marmoush, on the other hand, seems to have a longer-term plan in Frankfurt, with his current contract running until 2027. In contrast, Salah has hinted that this season might be his last with Liverpool. Even though their new head coach, Arne Slot, has remained tight-lipped about Salah's future, he has not ruled out the possibility of the "Egyptian King" staying at the club for another season.
During a recent press conference, when asked about Salah's contract situation, Slot responded that it's a good thing for players to have their contracts renewed, as it shows they are doing well. And based on what he's seen, he believes Salah is doing just that. However, he did mention that he couldn't provide any further updates at this time. So, only time will tell what the future holds for both Salah and Marmoush.
