Liverpool have reportedly made initial contact with the representatives of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush as the club anticipates a future without star forward Mohamed Salah. With Salah’s current contract nearing its final six months and uncertainty surrounding his future at Anfield, Liverpool are believed to be exploring their options should the Egyptian forward decide to move on, possibly to clubs in Saudi Arabia that are eager to secure his services.
Reports from German outlet SportBILD suggest Liverpool’s interest in Marmoush has grown significantly, with the club identifying the 25-year-old Egyptian international as a potential successor to Salah.
Liverpool’s contact with Marmoush’s representatives underscores their proactive approach in planning for a possible departure of their top goal-scorer, allowing them to move swiftly if Salah chooses not to renew his contract.
Marmoush has recently enjoyed a strong run in the Bundesliga, showing remarkable form for Frankfurt.
After scoring 12 league goals last season, he has made notable strides in his finishing, netting nine goals and providing four assists in just eight Bundesliga matches so far this season.
His impressive performances have positioned him among the top scorers in the league, where he currently stands level with Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane.
Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly valuing Marmoush at €40 million (£33.7 million), though that price tag is expected to rise if his prolific goal-scoring form continues.
Liverpool’s interest in Marmoush is driven by his explosive pace and versatility, qualities that have drawn comparisons to Salah’s style and could make for a natural transition if Liverpool were to sign him.
Salah’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain.
As one of the Premier League’s most celebrated players, he has enjoyed a highly successful tenure with the club, helping secure a Premier League title and a Champions League trophy, along with multiple domestic cups.
However, interest from the Saudi Pro League has raised questions about where he will play next season. Saudi Pro League director Michael Emenalo recently spoke on the league’s interest in Salah, noting that several clubs are keen to acquire his talents should he choose to leave Liverpool.
Liverpool’s measured approach reflects a desire to retain Salah while remaining prepared for any outcome.
Although the final decision rests with Salah himself, Liverpool’s potential pursuit of Marmoush highlights the club’s commitment to ensuring continued attacking strength, particularly if they need to fill the void left by one of their most influential players.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Liverpool and Salah, with Marmoush’s name now firmly in the mix as a candidate to join the Reds if the need arises.
