Omar Marmoush: On par with Messi and Ronaldo – SGE4EVER

Omar Marmoush is currently a star in the SGE, and possibly also the Bundesliga. The Egyptian has scored 22 goals from 15 games in all competitions so far this season. Only Harry Kane and Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting Lisbon) have an even better return. On Thursday night, Marmoush made the difference again and scored the gold 1-0 for Eintracht against Slavia Prague with a direct free kick. “He is “I just have the self-image right now to shoot the ball so perfectly,” enthusiastic about Dino Toppmöller after the game. One of Marmouh’s four stops in Germany was at VfB Stuttgart, where Eintracht travel on Sunday. VfB coach Sebastian Hoeneß also praised the 25-year-old in the pre-match press conference: “This is probably the hottest stock in the Bundesliga right now, maybe even across Europe. I will almost never go that far with a player who is a great scorer, who does almost everything.”

30 goals after 56 games

Marmoush also played a part in the recent 7-2 home win against VfL Bochum. He set up Hugo Ekitiké’s 1-0 goal in a fantastic way and scored the 2-0 goal with a direct free kick. Now he scored again directly from level against Slavia Prague. So far, nine players have scored two free kick goals in two consecutive series. Among them are Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and legends like Ronaldinho, David Beckham and Andrea Pirlo. Since Thursday, Frankfurt’s number seven has also been one of those players. “He scores all kinds of goals and takes fantastic free kicks”Hoeneß confirms his virtues.

The Egyptian scored 30 goals in 144 games for VfL Wolfsburg, Stuttgart, FC St. Pauli and the Egyptian club Wadi Degla. He reached this mark in Frankfurt after just 56 games. Brought in on a free transfer from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023, Marmoush was expected to be a complementary player in the attack behind Randal Kolo Muani. However, since the Frenchman left the Adler for Paris at the last second, Marmoush was the sole leader. As the ninth player, he did a good job and was Hessen’s most successful goalscorer with twelve Bundesliga goals. Now the Egyptian has improved again, as Hoeneß also said: “Marmoush was already strong last year and has now raised the bar again. It is in very good shape. ”

“He’s here and doing well!”

In the summer, Nottingham Forrest did a lot to sign the Egyptian, but he stayed in Frankfurt. If Marmoush continues his performance, the SGE will not be able to keep him. The Premier League seems to be his big goal and many transfer experts currently think that Liverpool FC are interested in the attacker. In any case, the 25-year-old will command a high fee if he leaves. According to information from “Bild”, Eintracht expects a minimum transfer fee of 45 million euros. It seems unrealistic that he will leave the SGE in the winter, but it is not impossible. Sports director Markus Krösche says about the topic: “Marmoush feels good. He can perform well here, it’s an important part and he likes it. We should not always talk about transit situations. He’s here and doing well.” Marmoush is needed in Frankfurt to be able to achieve the sporting goals, which may be more ambitious this year than some expected before the season.
