Bundesliga forward Omar Marmoush has become a key transfer target for both Arsenal and Liverpool, according to sources cited by FootballTransfers. The Egyptian international, who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, has impressed in the Bundesliga, catching the eye of these Premier League clubs. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is particularly eager to bring Marmoush to the Emirates, even considering parting ways with Gabriel Jesus, who has struggled with form.
Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, is also monitoring the situation. They would need to make room in their squad to accommodate Marmoush, highlighting the competition between the two clubs for his signature.
Eintracht Frankfurt is not ready to let go of their star forward easily and is reportedly looking to extend Marmoushโs contract by a year amid the rising interest from England. Nevertheless, Frankfurt is expected to entertain offers around โฌ35 million, despite Marmoushโs Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) being only โฌ17.3 million. This suggests that the club sees significant potential in the player.
After Eintracht Frankfurtโs 3-1 win over Besiktas last week, club director Markus Krosche addressed the transfer rumors, acknowledging the interest but stressing the club’s commitment to retaining Marmoush. He noted the playerโs growth and potential, while also admitting that no player is completely off-limits.
Marmoush has made a strong impact since joining Eintracht from Wolfsburg on a free transfer last summer, scoring 17 goals in his debut season and netting nine goals in just nine matches this season. His impressive performances have drawn attention from top European clubs.
For Arsenal, signing Marmoush could be crucial as Arteta aims to enhance his squad. With Jesusโs inconsistent performances and injury concerns, Marmoushโs versatility and finishing ability could provide a fresh attacking option to help the Gunners compete more effectively.
Liverpool could see Marmoush as an essential addition, especially given uncertainties surrounding some current attackers. His ability to play various positions in the attack would align well with Slotโs pressing style and could add unpredictability to Liverpoolโs offense.
As the January transfer window nears, the competition for Marmoush is expected to heat up. Frankfurt’s efforts to retain him will be tested by the allure of significant offers from Premier League clubs. Regardless of whether Marmoush remains in the Bundesliga or moves to England, his future is set to be one of the most compelling narratives in the current transfer landscape.
