With speculation stirring over the departure of Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, attention has also turned to the player who could take over from Egyptian King, who will be 33 next year. Numerous attackers’ names have surfaced in the media and then disappeared without happening.
Egypt’s colleague Omar Marmoush, a 25-year-old forward who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt and whose decision-making in front of goal improved dramatically last season, has also been reported as a target. His goal tally has increased further this season, with a threatening 14 goals and 10 assists in 16 games so far.
According to German outlet BILD, the Frankfurt forward, who is inevitably going to be a popular brand name in next summer’s transfer window, dreams of playing at Anfield and Liverpool are being tipped as his next step up the ladder.
It is also reported that talks over a move next summer have already begun, and with more than six months to go, it cannot be ruled out that an agreement could be reached underwater.
Bayern Munich, the absolute champions of the Bundesliga, are also interested in the 25-year-old attacker, who is under contract until June 2027 and will require a transfer fee of between €50 million and €60 million. His club is not willing to let him go easily, so difficult negotiations are likely to ensue.
Liverpool still have a strong forward line-up, but will they give the Egyptian attacker the white feather or welcome another target to Anfield?
