Manchester City Signs Egyptian Forward Omar Marmoush in £59 Million Deal
Manchester City have secured the signing of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth £59 million. The 25-year-old, who has been in scintillating form this season, has agreed to a contract until June 2029, with add-ons potentially increasing the fee to £63 million. Marmoush, who has scored 20 goals and provided 14 assists in 26 appearances for Frankfurt this season, is expected to bolster City’s attacking options as they aim to revive their Premier League campaign.
Marmoush, capable of playing as a striker, winger, or number 10, has been praised for his versatility, pace, and clinical finishing. His arrival comes as City seek to address their recent struggles, particularly in attack, following the departure of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid last summer. Pep Guardiola’s side has heavily relied on Erling Haaland, and Marmoush is seen as a player who can share the goalscoring burden and provide tactical flexibility.
The Egyptian international, who began his career at Wadi Degla in Cairo before moving to Wolfsburg in 2017, has flourished since joining Frankfurt in 2023. His performances have drawn comparisons to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, though Marmoush has been keen to carve out his own identity. Frankfurt, currently third in the Bundesliga, were reluctant to lose their star player but ultimately agreed to the transfer after City’s persistent pursuit.
Marmoush made his City debut in a high-stakes Premier League clash against Chelsea, where he was handed a starting role. Despite a challenging start for the team, his inclusion signals Guardiola’s faith in his ability to make an immediate impact. City fans will hope Marmoush can replicate his Bundesliga form in England and help the club climb the league table.
