Liverpool transfer boost as £52m-rated Salah heir HESITATES over new contract

Liverpool’s 2025 transfer window could be set for major activity.

After a relatively quiet 2024, with just one new player joining the first-team squad, things are expected to ramp up next year. Along with the arrival of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, the Reds may also need to find replacements for three of their biggest stars—Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah—whose contract situations remain unresolved.

While Liverpool have potential internal replacements for these players, it's likely they would still need to make significant signings to fully replace such key figures should they leave in the summer.

Marmoush hesitant over contract

Among the trio, Salah may prove the hardest to replace due to his immense impact on the team’s goal-scoring output.

Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush could be a possible successor to Salah. The 25-year-old has been in brilliant form this season, with eight goals and four assists in the Bundesliga, attracting attention from several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool.

According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Marmoush is currently hesitating to sign a new contract with Frankfurt despite the club’s efforts to extend his deal until 2028 with a salary increase. His current contract runs until 2027, but there is no release clause, making his situation one to watch closely.

Marmoush, who could reportedly cost around £52 million, might be a viable option for Liverpool if he continues his strong form.

His style of play and ability to both score and assist make him a potential long-term replacement for Salah, and the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the Egyptian star could be an enticing prospect for him.
