Offensive all-rounder Omar Marmoush from VfL Wolfsburg is closely associated with Eintracht Frankfurt. What idea are the Hessians pursuing with the Egyptian?
Eintracht Frankfurt may use league rivals VfL Wolfsburg. Omar Marmoush’s contract there expires, the Egyptian can leave the upcoming opponent (Sunday / 5.30 p.m.) in the summer free of charge. The words of VfL coach Niko Kovac (“I would like him to stay, he’s a good boy, a good footballer”) have not caused the player to rethink.
According to Wolfsburger Allgemeine, the negotiations are “in the final stages” despite competition from Gladbach. This coincides with information from hr-sport. Eintracht’s interest in signing the 24-year-old is high.
Eintracht courts Marmoush
Why actually? Marmoush has not yet made the final breakthrough in the Bundesliga. The international made 50 league appearances for Wolfsburg and Stuttgart, each with six goals and assists. After all, he made his 28th start in the last matchday and assisted in the win in Cologne (2-0). But the all-rounder is primarily a commuter between the bench and the lawn.
In terms of quality, Marmoush has the package that sports director Markus Krösche is looking for: speed (top speed 34.17 km/h), draft and variability. He can play on both wings, but also as a hanging striker or center forward. A replacement for Daichi Kamadawho is probably also moving on for free and is very popular with Borussia Dortmund, would not be Marmoush.
Eintracht is preparing for different scenarios
Eintracht prepares for different scenarios. Dribbler Jesper Lindstrom has been linked with English clubs and there’s no telling what will happen to high-flyer Randal Kolo Muani in the summer. A change cannot be ruled out, the Frankfurt top-class players are on the notepads of other clubs. Should the stars stay on the main, coach Oliver Glasner would ideally have one more alternative with Marmoush.
In any case, Eintracht-maker Krösche plans to give the squad a face early on this time too. Subsequent arrivals and departures cannot be ruled out. But the sooner the scaffolding is in place, the longer Glasner can study his ideas in preparation.
Marmoush made his pro debut under Glasner
Speaking of Glasner: Marmoush made his professional debut under the Austrian on May 26, 2020 for Wolfsburg in Leverkusen. Maybe the two will find each other again in Frankfurt in the summer.
