Bayern Munich are reportedly unwilling to spend as much as £50m on Omar Marmoush, but Christian Falk has told how Liverpool are “hot” in the chase, where the Bundesliga giants are not.

The Reds could see Mohamed Salah leave the club at the end of the season, and that could change the composition of their front line. Given that they have a number of players who can play anywhere above that, they don’t necessarily need a right winger.

Some of the players they have courted have been players who can also play in multiple positions, such as Marmoush, who is generally a striker, but can also play on both wings.

According to transfer insider Falk, Bayern Munich have left the scene – he said “it’s true” when asked if Bayern would decide not to compete with the Reds – while Liverpool are still in the hunt for the Eintracht Frankfurt man.

“Bayern have him on their list, they actually had him in their sights a bit more for 2026, but the price could go up to €60m (£50m/$62.5m),” he said on FC Bayern Insider podcast.

“Bayern don’t want to spend so much money on this player profile, they need a real striker up front. For Marmoush, they would have to change the game system a bit. But he would fit in somewhere else, for example in Liverpool FC.

“Mo Salah has made a strong case for him. So, Marmoush and Liverpool are hot. Bayern are a bit cold at the moment.

Marmoush approved by Salah

Marmoush and Salah play together for Egypt, and the Frankfurter has done just that was approved by his countryman.

“Omar Marmoush, incredibly talented and currently a key player for his club and the national team. But I hope he can stay away from comparisons because they will continue to put him under constant pressure,” said Salah.

“I just want him to avoid the idea of ​​comparisons. People need to stop comparing him to me and saying he’s ‘the new Salah’ and he’ll do what I did or even better, this doesn’t help him; it puts him only under constant pressure.

“You can’t compare him to a player who has achieved so much over the years while he’s just starting out. Let him live his own experience and enjoy it. He’s doing something different, in his own unique way.”
