Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush has emphasized that his primary focus is on helping his current team “achieve something big,” despite ongoing transfer rumors linking him to Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
All three Premier League clubs are reportedly in need of a new striker, and Marmoush has made a significant impact this season with 18 goals and 12 assists across all competitions for Frankfurt.
In the Bundesliga, only Harry Kane (14 goals) has scored more than Marmoush (13) in the 2024/25 season.
“There’s always a lot of speculation, but I don’t have a specific dream transfer,” the Egyptian international, who joined Frankfurt as a free agent after a lackluster spell at Wolfsburg, told Sport Bild. “What I can promise the fans is that I’ll give my all for Eintracht in every game. I’m not thinking about a transfer. I’m living in the moment and enjoying my time here.”
“Eintracht believed in me and trusted me. I want to repay that trust with strong performances and goals. What happens in the future doesn’t interest me. I just want to continue giving my best so that, by the end of the season, we can say we’ve achieved something great as a team.”
Marmoush is now valued at €60m (£50m) by Transfermarkt, a 50% increase from €40m just six weeks ago. Frankfurt’s sporting director, Markus Krosche, previously stated that €40m wouldn’t be enough to part with the player, and his value has likely risen since then. With a contract until 2027, Frankfurt holds the advantage in any potential transfer discussions.
However, for a club like Frankfurt, not as financially powerful as Europe’s elite, a sale is inevitable if the right offer is made, Krosche has also indicated.
“When many players come to us, we offer an environment where they can grow, knowing we’ll let them go if they develop faster than the club,” Krosche said. “This is why we can attract exciting players—they know they can take the next step here.”
He pointed to past transfers, such as Randal Kolo Muani’s move to Paris Saint-Germain for €90m in 2023, and stated, “Decisions like these need to be made from a global perspective. It’s not just about sport, but the entire club.”
“We have a set market value for each of our players. If a club meets this value, we’ll allow the player to leave. We always try to be prepared for that possibility.”
Liverpool is expected to strengthen their attack for next season, especially with the possibility of Mohamed Salah leaving and to challenge the inconsistent Darwin Nunez. Arsenal has also struggled to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a prolific striker, while Manchester United’s lack of attacking depth is well-known.
