Liverpool in battle with Man Utd to sign Omar Marmoush
Liverpool They are supposedly in a battle with manchester united on a deal to sign Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmoush, according to a German football expert, Florian Plettenberg.
After canceling his contract with Wolfsburg, the Egyptian decided to join the Eagles as a free agent last year. Following his move to Deutsche Bank Park, the striker enjoyed a promising campaign last season.
Now he has been attracting a lot of attention after showing impressive performances this season. In 19 appearances in all competitions, Marmoush has scored 17 goals and registered 11 assists so far this season.
He helped his team beat Heidenheim last weekend by scoring a brace and as a result, Frankfurt have now moved up the table to second position, four points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.
The 25-year-old is just behind Harry Kane in the German top-flight's top scorers list this campaign and the Englishman picked up an injury last weekend. So, Marmoush has a chance to overtake Kane in this race and secure his spot at the top.

Now, writing in unknown, Plettenberg claims that Liverpool have shown “concrete interest” in signing Marmoush and could take steps to secure his signature next year.
But Manchester United have also expressed interest in him and Bayern Munich are also in this race. Therefore, Marmoush has no shortage of potential suitors after his recent eye-catching performances.
The journalist claims that Frankfurt wants to force the forward to new conditions to keep the vultures away, but it is very likely that he will leave the club at the end of this season.
The marmoush is valued at around £33 million. Transfer market and he still has two and a half years left on his current contract. The Eagles usually don't let their star man leave for cheap like they did with Randal Kolo Muani, so Man Utd or Liverpool will have to spend a huge amount to lure him away from Deutsche Bank Park.
It will be interesting to see if the record first division The champions or the Merseyside club may eventually get his service to reinforce the attack.
