LIVERPOOL are eyeing up Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush to be their new Egyptian king.
With Mo Salah yet to extend his contract, the Reds have upped their interest in his international team-mate Marmoush.
According to reports in Germany, Eintracht have told Liverpool they will want £50million.
Salah, 32, is into the final year of his current deal and will be free to talk to overseas clubs in January.
And the Reds are preparing to have to deal without their main man from next season.
Virgil van Dijk and Real Madrid target Trent Alexander-Arnold are also in the last year of their deals.
