There have been key updates on Liverpool’s pursuit of Omar Marmoush and Martin Zubimendi, while Liverpool are also targeting Man City compensation.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Marmoush is one of Europe’s most in-form players this season, bagging 11 goals and seven assists in just 10 Bundesliga appearances.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to Liverpool and it looks like they are still pushing hard to sign him.
According to BILD, the Reds have begun talks with Marmoush and are leading the race to snap him up.
Eintracht Frankfurt could demand as much as €60 million (£50m) for the Egyptian’s services but they know that Champions League qualification is essential to have any chance of keeping hold of him.
At this point, it is starting to look like Marmoush is a genuine Liverpool target, which given his relentless numbers this season, is hugely exciting.

Liverpool FC: On this day
On this day in 1974, Liverpool completed the signing of Terry McDermott, snapping him up for £175,000 from Newcastle.
The midfielder would go on to become one of the Reds’ most influential players in a glorious period, providing box-to-box quality.
McDermott ended up scoring 81 goals and registering 58 assists in 329 Liverpool appearances, as well as winning four league titles and three European Cups, among other trophies.
The likes of Sir Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness may have been the poster boys of that great 1970s era at Anfield, but McDermott was a legendary figure in his own right.
