I need a new front derailleur for my retro marin wolf ridge but I have no idea what's compatible. It's a 3×9 speed. The current front derailleur is standard deore and the rear derailleur and shifters are deore xt. Can anyone help? I would ideally like a Shimano deore xt. Does anyone know which ones are compatible?
Have attached pictures to help.

Type this “shimano fd-m530 66 69” into eBay. Not sure about clamp diameter.
And it’s a vintage Marin, not retro.
I have a Jamis Dakar from 2006 that I just converted to a 1x drivetrain with an 11sp cassette and I’m extremely happy with it.
It stared as a 3×9 as well.
I even used the cable routing for the front derailleur to run the cable for an externally routed PNW dropper post.
I followed this video and spent a bunch of time researching what parts would work etc:
