As FC Barcelona gears up for the summer transfer window, strengthening the centre-forward position has become a key priority. While Robert Lewandowski continues to perform at a high level at 36, the club recognizes the necessity of securing a long-term successor. President Joan Laporta is reportedly eager to sign a marquee player to symbolize Barcelona’s return to Camp Nou and to enhance his position in the upcoming presidential elections.
Among the strikers linked with the Catalans are two of Europe’s top talents this season, Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyokeres. However, reports from SPORT indicate that Barcelona is also considering a more affordable option: Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush. Barcelona scouts were present at Frankfurt’s Europa League match against Midtjylland, where Marmoush scored a penalty in a 2-1 victory.
Marmoush, valued at €40 million, has been in outstanding form this season, netting 15 goals and providing 11 assists across all competitions, making him the second-highest scorer in the Bundesliga behind Harry Kane. His impressive performance has attracted interest from several major clubs, including Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City, and Borussia Monchengladbach, all of whom also had scouts at the same match.
