“There’s always a lot of speculation outside. But I don’t really have a particular dream target,” the Egypt international, signed as a free agent after an unremarkable spell at Wolfsburg in 2023. Sports image.
“What I can promise the fans is that I will give everything for Eintracht in every game. I am not thinking about a transfer. I am living here and now and enjoying my time in Frankfurt.
“Eintracht believed in me and placed their trust in me. I want to repay that trust with good performances and goals. Whatever happens in the distant future, however, does not interest me. I want to continue to do my best so that in the end of the season we can say as a team: we have achieved something big”.
Marmoush is now valued at €60m (£50m). Transfer marketan amount that has increased by 50%, from 40 million euros, in just the last six weeks since November.

“Ultimately, with a lot of players coming to us, we give them an environment where they can develop further, knowing very well that we would let them go if they develop faster than the club itself,” he said.
“This is an agreement we make with the boys. That’s why we have the opportunity to recruit so many exciting players, because they realize they can take the next step in Frankfurt.”
Referring to previous deals such as Randal Kolo Muani’s 2023 switch to Paris Saint-Germain for €90m, he noted: “Decisions like these have to be made from a global perspective. It’s not just sporting things, but also more, that is to say, the club as a whole.
“We have a certain market value in mind for each of our players. And if a club comes along that pays that, we’ll let the player go as well. We always try to be prepared for that eventuality.”
