Manchester City is reportedly targeting Eintracht Frankfurt’s in-form forward Omar Marmoush in a potential £50 million transfer, with Arsenal and Liverpool also keen on the Egyptian international.
Marmoush, who joined Frankfurt on a free transfer in May 2023, has been in scintillating form, scoring 18 goals and providing 12 assists in just 24 appearances this season.
The 25-year-old’s performances have been pivotal for Frankfurt, currently third in the Bundesliga standings. His tally of 13 Bundesliga goals places him second only to Harry Kane, making him one of Europe’s most sought-after attackers this season.
According to reports from The Telegraph, Manchester City is leading the pursuit of Marmoush as manager Pep Guardiola seeks to revitalize his squad following a challenging first half of the season.
However, a January deal may be complicated, with Frankfurt reportedly planning to cash in during the summer transfer window instead.
Despite the transfer buzz, Marmoush remains focused on his current club. Speaking to Bild, he expressed his commitment to helping Frankfurt achieve success this season, emphasizing his gratitude to the club for their belief in him.
While Marmoush has caught City’s eye, Guardiola has highlighted the need for reinforcements in other areas, including central defense and holding midfield. Players such as Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and Atalanta’s Ederson are also under consideration.
As Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool compete for Marmoush’s signature, the forward’s performances will undoubtedly continue to draw attention, potentially leading to a high-stakes transfer battle in the coming months
