According to rumors, the Reds are willing to pop up to £50 million for Omar Marmoush.
According to Sky Sports Germany, the Reds are seriously considering bringing in Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Omar Marmoush for between £40-50 million. And why not? The last Egyptian attacker Liverpool brought in worked out pretty well.
Marmoush has an impressive 10 goals and 5 assists across 10 Bundesliga and Europa League matches, so a goal or assist every 55.7 minutes. Seems good.
Of course, we already have an Egyptian King, so I guess that would make Marmoush an Egyptian Prince, at least until the sad day when Salah leaves the club. However, unlike Mo, Marmoush is primarily deployed on the left wing, and is right-footed.
According to the report, Liverpool could move for Marmoush as early as the January transfer window.
The rumor is a bit of a funny one though. If there is any area where the Reds are well and truly stacked, it is in attack. And it is no secret that Liverpool desperately want to buy a defensive midfielder, as their three failed and very public efforts to do so over the last two summers shows.
On the other hand, if Liverpool’s laptop gurus see that the 25-year-old is ready for that step up, and the price is right, it might not be the worst idea, especially if Salah does depart in the summer.
