Liverpool are reportedly interested in Man Utd loanee Sofyan Amrabat and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush
Liverpool are considering summer moves for a Manchester United flop and Bundesliga forward, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has identified two players to bolster the Red Devil’s defence, while Manchester City could lose Erling Haaland to Barcelona – all in Wednesday’s edition of Euro Paper Talk.
LIVERPOOL PLOT SHOCK MOVE FOR MAN UTD FLOP
Sofyan Amrabat was all the rage after he put in some incredible performances in the 2022 World Cup for Morocco. This helped him to secure a season-long loan to Man Utd from Fiorentina last summer.
The 27-year-old has failed to have any real impact since his switch to Old Trafford, however. He’s started just seven games in the Premier League this term and hot prospect Kobbie Mainoo has moved ahead of him in the pecking order.
Various outlets have claimed that the Red Devils have already decided against signing Amrabat on a permanent deal, despite them having a buy option of £21.4m agreed with Fiorentina.
This has caught the attention of several sides, with AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are all keeping close tabs on the midfielder’s situation ahead of the summer window.
But according to a surprising report from Spain, Liverpool are set to join the race for Amrabat’s signature.
The Reds are keen to bring in one more centre-mid despite bolstering the position with new faces last summer and it’s claimed that Liverpool are ‘monitoring Amrabat’s situation.’
They have been tipped to make a move for him in the coming months, although Atletico are ‘close’ to securing a deal.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reportedly ‘held talks’ with Amrabat’s entourage before he decided to join Man Utd, but it would still be a major surprise to see the Merseyside club reignite their interest.
What seems almost certain is that the Moroccan won’t be staying at Old Trafford beyond this season and a return to Fiorentina also looks unlikely.
Liverpool ‘hot’ on signing new Egyptian king
Liverpool could lose superstar winger Mohamed Salah this summer amid renewed interest from Saudi Arabia and they have already started planning for his departure.
Salah was subject of a £150m bid from Al Ittihad and with his contract set to expire in 2025, it’s unlikely that Liverpool would turn down another huge offer this summer.
One player they have been heavily linked with in recent weeks is Salah’s fellow Egypt international Omar Marmoush, who ‘dreams’ of a move to Anfield.
The Eintracht Frankfurt forward has scored a very impressive 10 goals and made six assists in 21 Bundesliga appearances this season and is keen on a switch to the Premier League.
According to German outlet SportBild, Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle are all big admirers of Marmoush but would have to cough up around €60m (£51.4m) to sign him this summer.
It’s claimed that Eintracht Frankfurt are ‘willing to talk’ about a transfer for Marmoush should one of his suitors match his price tag.
Liverpool have a number of exciting wingers on their shortlist, however, so the Frankfurt star isn’t their only option.
Borussia Dortmund’s Donyell Malen, PSV Eindhoven’s Johan Bakayoko and Juventus’ Federico Chiesa are among the other stars linked.
