Not Salah… Egyptian star alone enters list of most expensive AFCON qualifiers

Egypt forward Omar Marmoush secured a €50 million market value, placing him among the most expensive AFCON‑2027 qualifiers. He is the only Egyptian on the list, according to Transfermarkt.

Transfermarkt announced on 22 September 2026 that Egypt forward Omar Marmoush has secured a place among the most expensive AFCON 2027 qualifiers, with a market value of €50 million, making him the only Egyptian on the list.

Valuation details

The ranking released by Transfermarkt features several African stars, such as Riyad Mahrez (€70 million), Sadio Mané (€68 million) and Ivan Marić (€65 million). Marmoush follows these players, reflecting his impressive 2025‑2026 season in Italy.

Marmoush's performance in qualifiers

He has scored three goals in the opening matches of the AFCON qualifiers, helping Egypt beat Sudan 2‑1. His consistent form with his Serie A club explains the sharp rise in his valuation and makes him a potential target for top European clubs.

  • Market value: €50 million
  • Ranking: within the top‑10 players
  • National team: Egypt

If Marmoush maintains his current level, his value is likely to increase further, possibly triggering a high‑profile transfer before the season ends.
