Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and his recruitment team are working towards making sure that the club sign a reliable goalscorer in the next summer transfer window.
Arne Slot wants a reliable striker in his squad next season as Darwin Nunez has so far failed to convince and Diogo Jota is not seen as a natural fit for the number 9 role.
Hughes and his team of scouts and analysts are assessing several strikers across Europe as they push towards determining their top target for the next summer transfer window.
Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres is one of the strikers the club are tracking and Newcastle’s Alexander Isak has also emerged as a shock target for the Reds for the end of the season market.
However, one name has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool over the last couple of months and he is almost certain to change clubs next summer.
Anfield is the forward’s preferred destination for next summer
Omar Marmoush has been regularly linked with a move to Liverpool who have been keeping tabs on him this season.
The striker’s goalscoring record in Germany has not gone unnoticed and the Reds have already done some groundwork on a potential deal next summer.
Liverpool have held talks with his agent and there was talk that the forward has been keen on a move to Anfield as he dreams of succeeding Mohamed Salah on Merseyside.
According to German daily Bild, his preferred destination for next summer is Merseyside.
He wants to spend the rest of the season at Eintracht Frankfurt and try to win a trophy for the German club.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
However, he has made up his mind about wanting to leave in the summer and he is leaning towards joining Liverpool.
Bayern Munich are also interested in the striker but it is unclear how serious their interest in him is at this stage.
Barcelona have also identified him as a potential target but for the moment, Liverpool have the clear edge in the race to land Marmoush next summer.
Eintracht are prepared to sell the forward for a fee in the region of €50m to €60m at the end of the season.
