Liverpool set to table £58m offer for Bundesliga breakout star as Arne Slot seeks reinforcements: Reports
Liverpool are ready to offer £58m for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush, according to Fichajes.net. The Egyptian forward has been in stellar form this season, registering 13 goals and nine assists from 15 games across competitions.
Predominantly a centre forward, Marmoush can also operate on the left-flank, which makes him an enticing prospect for his suitors. The Reds are pleased with his efforts and want him at Anfield in 2025.
The Merseyside club have enjoyed an impressive rise under Slot this season. The Dutch manager took charge as Jurgen Klopp's replacement this summer and already has Liverpool firing on all cylinders.
The Reds are at the top of the Premier League table after 10 games, with eight wins under the belt. The Merseyside club have won 14 fo their 16 games across competitions this season, but remain on the hunt for squad improvements.
With Darwin Nunez struggling for consistency and Diogo Jota struggling with injuries, Slot wants a new striker in 2025. Liverpool have identiifed Marmoush as an option and are ready to break the bank for the 22-year-old.
A move in January is unlikely as Eintracht Frankfurt would hate to lose their man in the middle of the season. However, the Bundesliga giants could be tempted to cash in on the Egyptian next summer.
Marmoush is under contract at the Waldstadion until 2027, and the Reds have already held initial talks regarding a move. Mohamed Salah could play a big role in convincing his countryman to move to Anfield.
Who is Liverpool's top scorer this season?
Liverpool have registered 37 goals from 16 outings across competitions this season. Of these, 19 have been scored from 10 games in the Premier League.
The Reds have scored three goals or more on six occasions under Arne Slot. They secured a thumping 4-0 win over reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen earlier this week in the Champions League.
Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are the joint top scorers for the Merseyside club this season. The Egyptian has scored nine times in 16 games so far, while also setting up nine more. However, the 32-year-old's contract with Liverpool expires at the end of this campaign and he is yet to sign a new deal.
Meanwhile, Diaz has also been in inspired form under Arne Slot, registering nine goals and two assists from 15 games. Cody Gakpo has found the back of the net six times for the Reds this season, while Diogo Jota has also scored four goals.
