Mo Salah's replacement?! Omar Marmoush still wanted by Liverpool despite €60m price tag as Arne Slot seeks potential replacement for iconic Egyptian

Marmoush’s form this season for Eintracht has made a strong case for his Premier League ambitions. The forward has delivered 11 goals and seven assists in 13 appearances across all competitions, continuing from his previous season’s performance of 17 goals and six assists in 41 games. These accomplishments have heightened his appeal, with Liverpool now stepping up their interest in securing his signature.

According to German outlet SportBILD, Liverpool have been in touch with Marmoush’s advisors for a potential transfer and have "officially registered their interest" in the Egyptian. His combination of speed, technical skill, and goal-scoring ability has pushed him into the limelight, with reports claiming Liverpool had initially tracked the 25-year-old during the summer window before opting to wait due to their depth in attacking positions.

Marmoush’s contract with Eintracht, which runs until 2027, does not include a release clause, giving the German club the upper hand in negotiations. This absence of a buyout clause suggests Liverpool may have to pay as much as €60m (£50m/$65m) for Marmoush’s transfer, should they decide to move forward with an offer. However, SportBILD also reports that Eintracht is expected to propose a new contract to the forward in hopes of securing his future, though the player has expressed hesitancy regarding a long-term commitment.

Liverpool’s potential interest aligns with their ambition to maintain a dynamic offensive lineup. Should Salah decide against extending his contract, which ends next summer, Marmoush represents a versatile option with similar attacking attributes to his fellow Egyptian, including strong finishing, quick adaptability, and a proven record in Bundesliga’s competitive environment. As Eintracht return to Bundesliga action on Saturday, they’ll face VfL Bochum, currently at the bottom of the league table. Liverpool, on the other hand, will host Brighton in the Premier League on the same day.
