Liverpool sit at the summit of the Premier League table and are gradually emerging as the biggest contender to win the league with Manchester City and Arsenal struggling for form. However, the club’s recruitment team are working hard behind the scenes to identify and fill the holes in the squad in the upcoming transfer windows.
The Merseyside giants are almost certain to sign a new striker next summer as Arne Slot is not entirely convinced about the forward options he has in his squad.
Darwin Nunez has yet to prove that he can become a reliable number 9 at this level and while Diogo Jota has been preferred, he is not a long-term solution in that role.
Liverpool are tracking several strikers such as Jonathan David, who will be available on a free transfer, and Viktor Gyokeres, who is almost certain to leave Sporting Lisbon next summer.
However, the Reds have been heavily linked with an interest in Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush who is said to be keen on the move to Anfield as well.
But Liverpool are now unlikely to get a clear run at the Bundesliga striker as one of the biggest names in European football also have their eyes on him.
Barcelona are in the fray for Marmoush
The Catalan giants want to sign a forward to replace Robert Lewandowski in the team next season and Erling Haaland has been their top target.
However, Barcelona are aware that they do not have the financial means to attract the Norweigan striker and they are looking at alternatives.
According to the Catalan daily Sport, Marmoush has emerged as a real target for the Catalan giants for the next summer transfer window.
His goalscoring form in Germany has piqued their interest and they are considering taking the Egyptian to the Nou Camp at the end of the season.
Can you name the club Liverpool sold these players to?
However, a move for him would not be cheap as well as Eintracht want somewhere between €50m to €60m before agreeing to sell him.
Liverpool are even prepared to pay over the odds and fork out €70m to beat off competition to the striker’s signature in the summer.
But interest from Barcelona is likely to complicate the race as the Catalan giants have the pull to attract players of Marmoush’s quality in the market.
