Man Utd eye Liverpool target Omar Marmoush, Mo Salah considers exit

Liverpool have identified Marmoush as a potential addition to their forward ranks in case Salah refuses to pen a new contract and leaves on a free transfer in summer 2025. Marmoush is an Egyptian compatriot of Salah's and has been putting up great numbers in Germany this term.

So far, the Eintracht Frankfurt centre-forward has managed 14 goals and 10 assists in 16 appearances across all competitions.

Liverpool have been told they will need to pay €60million to sign Marmoush. Talks between Liverpool and the player's camp are reportedly underway, too.

Liverpool will not have it all their own way in the chase for Marmoush, though. Bayern Munich are also in the frame, while Man Utd cannot be discounted, either.

During an appearance on the Theatre of Red podcast, journalist Ben Jacobs has labelled the 25-year-old as 'one to watch' for United.

This suggests the Red Devils could provide Liverpool with competition for Marmoush.

Of course, Anfield chiefs still remain hopeful of tying Salah down to fresh terms.

Discussions are ongoing between the two parties, though the situation gets tougher for Liverpool as January draws nearer.

On Tuesday, German reporter Florian Plettenberg claimed that Liverpool are still some way off matching Salah's wage demands.

To make matters worse for Liverpool supporters, Plettenberg added that the right winger is a concrete target for major European clubs, and not just teams in Saudi Arabia.

Salah has appeared on the latest episode of The Reds Roundtable alongside Alisson and Andy Robertson.

The 32-year-old has spoken about enjoying every moment possible after Roberto Firmino's exit in 2023 showed him that eras come to an end.

"The thing I appreciate the most is the time when I go every morning, and I see the guys, and we share, like, unbelievable moments," he said. "Especially us three plus Virg [Virgil van Dijk] and Trent [Alexander-Arnold], the senior group.

"Because when Bobby left, for example, you just realised that everybody will leave one day. So you always... I don't take that for granted.

"When I go there, I always try to have a laugh with them and just spend good time together. In my head, I always remember the good things we had together, or even the bad stuff.

"Not the worst stuff, but like the failure in the Champions League (final), for example. It's a bad memory for us but it's still like something, it's not easy to reach a Champions League final. So the whole journey was good. You had bad luck in the final, that's it.

"When I see the guys, especially the senior group, it just gives me a good memory all the time...

"I believed inside me: 'It's not going to stay like this forever. It's just a situation, it's going to pass for sure.'"

Salah added: "My time here, I'm enjoying every second of it. I just want to look back to my career and say, 'I enjoyed everything.'"
