Liverpool are in the lead to sign world football’s biggest breakout star

Liverpool are the clear frontrunners in the Premier League title race now, as they took full advantage of slip-ups from Manchester City and Arsenal to post a come from behind 2-1 victory over Brighton.

Mohamed Salah, as he so often does, proved to be the difference with a brilliant solo goal, cutting in from the right side in customary fashion. The Egyptian icon avenged several brutal fouls from Brighton to prove, once again, why he is the best player in the Premier League.

As the months roll on, Salah remains without a new contract with Liverpool, and while the only sensible decision is for the 32-year-old to remain at Anfield until he retires, the Reds have to be prepared for the worst.

Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo are on the shortlist of targets on the right wing, but perhaps Liverpool could sign a world-class forward to start alongside Salah and then replace him at a later date.

According to a report from Sport Bild’s Ulricka Sickenberger and Johannes Wolf, Eintracht Frankfurt breakout star Omar Marmoush dreams of a transfer to Liverpool to follow in the footsteps of Salah.

Marmoush is an Egyptian international, so he very much values the possibility of playing with the greatest footballer in his country’s history – and then eventually succeeding him.

Eintracht’s goal is to sign Marmoush to a short-term extension, paying him handsomely to convince him to stay through a year or two of his prime – he is currently 25 – before selling him for even more money to a top Premier League side.

With their highly attacking playing style and ability to get attackers into space, Liverpool also offer what is easily the most enticing tactical environment for the former Wolfsburg standout.

Marmoush is sitting on a whopping 10 goals and 6 assists so far in the 2024/25 Bundesliga campaign, having just added a goal and two assists in a 7-2 romping of relegation candidates Bochum.

You could make the case that Marmoush has been the best player in world football so far this season, so there is no doubt that he has the quality to be on the Liverpool transfer radar in 2025.
