Liverpool preparing transfer for ‘next Mo Salah’ but face competition for £51m Eintracht Frankfurt star
LIVERPOOL are reportedly preparing for life without Mohamed Salah – by targeting a player tipped to be as successful as the Egyptian wizard.
Salah‘s Anfield future was in major doubt last summer when he was the subject of a £150million bid from club Al-Ittihad.
His current contract with Liverpool expires next summer and the Saudi Pro League side are expected to once again test the Merseysiders’ resolve to keep him.
The club are said to be on the lookout for replacements for the 31-year-old and have reportedly got their sights set on Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush.
That’s according to Bild, who claim the Reds have been impressed by what they’ve seen of Salah’s fellow Egyptian.
The German newspaper claims the 25-year-old’s goalscoring exploits and ability to take on players have impressed the Premier League giants.
Marmoush has been in fine form this season, scoring 15 goals and providing six assists in all 33 appearances in all competitions.
His contract at the Deutsche Bank Park is set to expire in the summer of 2027 and his agent recently hinted that he could soon move on to pastures new.
Michael Reschke told Egyptian TV channel On E: “We have good plans for Marmoush.
“Marmoush has been delivering outstanding performances recently and a bright future awaits him.

“He currently has a global market, so we don’t rule out receiving offers from all over the world.
“Marmoush is greatly loved within Eintracht Frankfurt, so offers are not only expected from within Germany but from all over Europe.
“This isn’t a strange matter, and we should all expect it because his performance, level, and name have become like gold currency and the energy he possesses on the pitch promotes him.
“He has a completely distinctive style, his eyes are sharp, and I cannot compare him to anyone else. He is a wonderful and special player.”
