Liverpool have reportedly learned the asking price that Eintracht Frankfurt have set to consider parting ways with Egyptian attacker Omar Marmoush.
Since joining Frankfurt on a free transfer in 2023 following an underwhelming stint at Wolfsburg, the 25-year-old forward has truly found his best form.
Last season, Marmoush netted 17 goals across all competitions, and this term, he is on track to surpass that, with 10 goals in 11 games - nine of which came in just seven Bundesliga matches.
The Egyptian's fine form for Die Adler has attracted interest from clubs across the world, including Premier League giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool.
Liverpool eyeing up Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush
According to Sky Sports Germany, Liverpool are keen on signing Marmoush but Frankfurt are expected to demand a substantial transfer fee for the in-form attacker.
The report claims that the Bundesliga outfit are looking to tie the Egyptian down to a new long-term contract and have set an asking price in the region of £40m to £50m for his signature.
SGE are believed to have opened talks about a new deal with the player but he is said to be hesitant about accepting any offers right away.
It is understood that the Reds view the 25-year-old as a potential long-term successor to his compatriot Mohamed Salah, who might leave Anfield next summer amid interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.
This season, Marmoush has predominantly played as a striker but has also showcased his versatility by taking up slightly deeper central roles and playing on the wing.
Reds considering shock offer for Barcelona star
While it remains to be seen if Liverpool end up making a bid for Marmoush, a separate report claims that the Reds are also weighing up an offer for Spain star Lamine Yamal.
Barcelona reportedly recently turned down a world-record bid from Paris Saint-Germain for the teenage sensation, who was a standout performer for La Roja at Euro 2024.
However, given Barca's current financial struggles, they may need to raise funds by selling some of their star players, and it is understood that several clubs across Europe, including Liverpool, are keeping a close eye on the young Spaniard.
The Premier League leaders will be aiming to extend their impressive eight-game winning streak when they face a short-handed Arsenal side at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday. body check tags ::
