Barcelona, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur dispatched scouts to watch Omar Marmoush in action for Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt last week.
According to a report by Daily Mirror, Omar Marmoush is becoming more sought-after throughout Europe with every passing week. Barcelona, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur sent scouts to watch the Eintracht Frankfurt attacker in the UEFA Europa League last week. Meanwhile, the Bundesliga outfit will demand £60 million to part ways with the Egyptian international in the summer transfer window.
The rise and rise of Omar Marmoush
Omar Marmoush has established himself as one of the best attackers in the Bundesliga during his spell with Eintracht Frankfurt. The 25-year-old has been in Germany for over seven years but has only stamped his authority in the German top flight in the last 15 months.
The former Wolfsburg attacker enjoyed an excellent debut season with Eintracht Frankfurt and has gone from strength to strength this season. Marmoush has contributed to 28 goals in 19 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 17 times and providing 11 assists. Meanwhile, his progress has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs, including Barcelona, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.
A man in demand
Marmoush has recently emerged on Barcelona’s radar. The Catalan giants are scouring the market for a striker amid the advancing years of Robert Lewandowski. So, several candidates have appeared on Barcelona’s radar, with the Egyptian international a viable target. However, Eintracht Frankfurt’s asking price of £60 million might pose a problem for the Blaugrana.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s interest in Omar Marmoush is understandable. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a striker amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee. So, the Eintracht Frankfurt forward is an option worth considering for Manchester United.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, Dominic Solanke arrived from Bournemouth in a big-money move in the summer transfer window. However, amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of Richarlison, Tottenham can do with a versatile attacking, making Marmoush a viable target.
Coughing up £60 million should not be an issue for Manchester United and Tottenham if they offload their unwanted players. However, the two Premier League clubs and Barcelona face stiff competition from other high-profile clubs, including Liverpool. So, it will be interesting to see where the 25-year-old Egyptian international lands next year if he leaves Eintracht Frankfurt.
