Since joining from AS Roma, Egyptian international Mohamed Salah has scored numerous goals and assists to lead his team to victory. The Saudis are expected to go all out to acquire him this summer, as they did last year, and with less than a year left on his contract, it will be interesting to see what kind of decision Liverpool will make.
In any case, the search for a successor is in full swing for Liverpool’s right winger, who is now approaching 32 years of age. In addition to left-handed right wingers who can cut in and shoot, such as Belgian international Johan Bakayoko, center forwards and left wingers have also been mentioned.
According to SportBILD, three clubs, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United, are preparing between 50 and 60 million euros to acquire 25-year-old forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Cairo forward, who is under contract with the club until June 2027, can play in the one-top, second-top, left or right wing positions, and has exploded this season with his decisiveness in front of goal, scoring 15 goals in 33 games, including three straight in the European Conference League group stage. He has also made a name for himself in the European Conference League group stage, scoring a goal in three consecutive games.
He made his debut for the Egyptian national team in 2021, scoring five goals in 29 games, but his reputation in the Bundesliga is growing. Tottenham are working to strengthen their front line, and Newcastle are tracking the move as an option to replace the oft-injured Callum Wilson.
For Liverpool, the top priority should still be on the right wing. Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo can all play center forward, and in addition to them, Luis Diaz can all move as left wingers.
The lack of forward pieces is definitely on the right, and I don’t see much reason for Liverpool to spend up to 60 million euros and obsess over the Egyptian attacker.
Nevertheless, the player has a good chance of landing in the Premier League, and we may see him fighting in England next season.
