Liverpool did amazing business in 2017 when they signed Mohamed Salah for around $54 million from AS Roma. Salah has become a club legend after scoring many goals for Liverpool in seven years. Liverpool is unsure if the player will continue next season after reported offers from Saudi Arabian clubs who are offering lots of money. Liverpool are unsure whether to accept those figures since Salah is still a crucial player for the team. While Salah decides if he is open to a move-out, Liverpool is planning to make some signings this summer in case the club needs to replace Salah for next season.

Liverpool has been linked with many attacking players who can play on the wings or as an attacking midfielder. If Liverpool were to sell Salah for a fee over $150 million this summer, the club would try to buy players like Pedro Neto or Jamal Musiala. If the club does keep Salah, Liverpool will consider buying cheap alternatives, and one of them is a teammate of Salah in the Egyptian national team.

Sport Bild reports that Liverpool is interested in 25-year-old striker Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt. Marmoush is the top goal scorer for Frankfurt this season in the Bundesliga with ten goals and is also the top assistant with 6. The Egyptian has 21 goal contributions in 32 games in all competitions. He played with Salah in the AFCON Cup in January and played all four games. He scored one goal in the tournament when Egypt played against Ghana. Marmoush is currently valued at around $16 million, which seems like a great deal, but it is expected that more teams will be monitoring this player this summer.
