Liverpool have no intention of hijacking Man City’s plans to sign Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmouche, sources have told Football Insider.
The Reds were previously rumored to be interested in signing the 25-year-old, who has been making waves in the Bundesliga this season.
Football Insider revealed on Monday (6 January) that Man City have held preliminary talks with Frankfurt star Marmouche and his representatives over a potential transfer.
Josep Guardiola’s side have named the Egyptian international as a possible replacement for Julián Alvarez, who left City for Atletico Madrid in the off-season.
Liverpool have not had Marmouche on their radar during this period and are pursuing alternative targets.
City are the leading club in the push to sign the free-scoring striker, leading the race in the early stages of the mid-season transfer window, which ends on February 3.

Marmouche, 25, has played in 24 games in all competitions so far in the 2024-25 season, scoring 18 goals and providing 12 assists.
Liverpool have no plans to sign Marmouche this month.
Thirteen of those came in the Bundesliga, leaving him just one behind Bayern Munich and England star Harry Kane, the league’s top scorer.
The Egyptian international primarily plays as a centre-forward, but can also play on the left or right wing, as well as in the role of an attacking midfielder.
