Life at Liverpool has not been easy for Darwin Nunez since arriving at Anfield during the summer of 2022.
Jurgen Klopp was keen to add the striker to his squad after coming up against the Uruguayan star in the Champions League the previous season, where the 25-year-old scored in both of Benfica’s quarter-final matches against the Reds.
The £85m fee Liverpool paid the Portuguese giants for the Nunez immediately put pressure on the forward, while the arrival of Erling Haaland at Man City during the same transfer window also provided fans with a direct comparison.
Eintracht Frankfurt are standing firm on their £67m valuation of Marmoush and if City don’t match that, it could bring Liverpool back into the fold during the summer as the Reds may need a replacement for Darwin Nunez should the Uruguayan star move on.
When it comes to comparing the two forwards, Marmoush’s numbers this season blow Nunez’s out of the water, although the Liverpool star has not been a regular starter at Anfield.

The Egyptian’s 34 goal contributions this season alone, are not far behind what the Reds star has produced at Anfield since moving in 2022, with the 25-year-old scoring 37 goals and 21 assists having played 96 matches more.
