Barça set their sights on the new Bundesliga star as a 'hidden' star for the forward line

The search for a '9' at FC Barcelona is a reality. Joan Laporta wants to make a cash splash in the team with an eye on the return to the new Camp Nou and the elections of 2026, and his objective has focused on the signing of a reliable striker to take over from Robert Lewandowski once his journey at the club comes to an end in the next few years.

The priority of the Blaugrana entity is Erling Haaland, but the delicate economic situation of Barça could prevent them from facing an operation that aims to be multimillion-dollar. In this scenario, the alternative of Viktor Gyökeres appears, but being the name in fashion for his 23 goals in 18 games, the competition for his signing promises to be very tight.

Barça set their sights on Omar Marmoush

That is why Barça are considering other names on their list of possible signings, and Omar Marmoush is one of the most prominent, as reported by 'SPORT'. The Eintracht Frankfurt striker has established himself as the sensation of the Bundesliga, where he is the top scorer, tied with Harry Kane on 11 goals, and has provided 7 assists.

His profile is very much liked by the sports management as he can play in all three attacking positions, and has also become a specialist in free kicks. At 25 years old, the Egyptian is valued at 40 million euros according to 'Transfermarkt', but Frankfurt have valued him at 45 million.

Bayern Munich and Liverpool are also after him, but the Catalans have the help of the CAA Stellar agency, which represents Marmoush and Fermin Lopez and with which they have a good relationship. The Catalans have therefore entered the race for 'El Faraón', and if they finally decide to go for his signing, they would have a good chance of 'winning it'.
