Frankfurt is determined to hold onto their key players in the immediate future despite attracting interest from top European clubs with his exceptional performances this season.

Krosche emphasized the club's priority of maintaining team cohesion.

"While transfer revenue is crucial, our main focus is on squad retention," he said.

"Even a transfer offer of €40 million would not tempt us to part ways with him."

Krösche acknowledged Frankfurt's financial considerations and hinted at potential future transfers involving players like Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike.

"For many players joining us, it's about creating an environment that fosters their growth. If their development outpaces the club's progress, we may explore transfer opportunities," he said.

Crediting Marmoush's rapid advancement to Frankfurt's player-centric development approach, Krösche highlighted the club's ability to attract and nurture young talent effectively.

"Omar has thrived in our supportive environment, characterized by high energy levels within the club. The synergy between him and the team is evident in his exceptional performances," he remarked.
