Liverpool eyes Omar Marmoush as a possible successor to Mohamed Salah, with competition from Tottenham and Newcastle.

Liverpool are considering Eintracht Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah, amidst interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.

Reports suggest that the Reds are keen on securing Marmoush in the event of Salah's departure, with potential competition from Tottenham and Newcastle also in the mix for the Egyptian talent.

Interest from Liverpool and Competition

According to SportBild, per OneFootball, Liverpool has set its sights on Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt as a contingency plan if Mohamed Salah decides to leave the club, amid rumoured interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia.

The Reds are reportedly in a hunt for a replacement winger, considering Marmoush along with other prospects like Johan Bakayoko of PSV Eindhoven.

However, the €50 million to €60 million price tag placed on Marmoush could prove to be a hurdle in negotiations. Tottenham and Newcastle have also joined the race for the versatile 25-year-old, who has caught the eye of several top clubs with his performances.

Marmoush's Potential and International Connections

Omar Marmoush, with 33 appearances this season, has showcased his talent by scoring 15 goals and providing six assists for his club Eintracht Frankfurt. His ability to play in multiple attacking positions makes him a desirable asset for many teams.

The Egyptian international, with 29 caps for his national team, shares the field with Salah for Egypt, hinting at a potential chemistry that could benefit Liverpool if a move materialises.

The upcoming games will be crucial for Marmoush to maintain his form and attract more suitors, starting with the Bundesliga fixture against Union Berlin.
