Omar Marmoush's performances this season have put him on the radar of some of Europe's top clubs.

As a result, it may prove difficult for Eintracht Frankfurt to keep hold of him this summer, especially if their reported asking price of €60 million is met.

In order to prepare for a departure, the Bundesliga outfit have drawn up a list of five or six potential replacements, according to Sport Bild.

One of the names on that list, alongside Stade Rennes' Arnaud Kalimuendo, is Mainz's Jonathan Burkardt, the German publication claims.

Burkardt has been in fine form for Mainz this season, scoring 11 goals and providing two assists in 15 appearances.

The 24-year-old, who made his international debut in October, has a contract with Die Nullfünfer until 2027.
