Liverpool ‘hot’ for player who ‘dreams of England’ – Arsenal also interested, €50m fee
Liverpool and Arsenal have set their sights on Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush for the summer window.
That’s
according to Bild, who state the Reds are ‘hot’ for the Egypt international.
As well as Liverpool, Arsenal are also interested in signing the striker, and
the German club are demanding at least €50m to sanction his sale.
The newspaper questions whether the 25-year-old’s compatriot, Mohamed Salah, can lure him to Anfield.
Online, Bild claim both Liverpool and Arsenal have now included Marmoush in their target list.
The player has
managed 15 goals and six assists from 32 games this season, and the Premier League duo are watching him closely. It’s claimed both the Merseyside club and Mikel Arteta’s side are ‘thinking about signing’ him in the summer.
Luckily, for the two English clubs,
the frontman ‘dreams of England’, which is also known to Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche.
The Bundesliga side took the Egyptian on a free transfer last summer and their idea is to have him for next season.
Marmoush’s deal lasts until 2027 and should he continue his rapid rise, Bild state Eintracht Frankfurt will have to consider selling him in the summer.
They add Marmoush’s asking price is set at €50m, and it’s not mentioned if Liverpool or Arsenal are ready to meet the German club’s demand.
