Manchester City Secures Omar Marmoush in a Blockbuster Deal
Manchester City have completed the signing of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt on a four-and-a-half-year deal, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2029. The 25-year-old, who has been in scintillating form this season, joins the Premier League champions for a fee reportedly in the region of £59 million. Marmoush, a versatile attacker capable of playing across the front line, has scored 20 goals and provided 14 assists in just 26 appearances for Frankfurt this campaign, making him one of Europe’s most in-form forwards.
Marmoush’s journey to the Etihad has been marked by steady progression. After beginning his career in Egypt with Wadi Degla, he moved to Europe in 2017, joining Wolfsburg before making the switch to Frankfurt in 2023. His breakout season in Germany saw him net 17 goals in 41 appearances, earning him a reputation as a clinical finisher with exceptional technical ability. This season, his performances have only improved, with his goal contributions ranking second in Europe’s top-five leagues, behind only his compatriot Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian international, who has 35 caps for his country, expressed his excitement at joining Manchester City, describing it as a “dream come true.” He highlighted the opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola and the club’s world-class facilities as key factors in his decision. “With Pep, his technical staff, and the world-class facilities here, players have everything they need to improve,” Marmoush said. “I want to learn from the staff and my teammates, and I want to become a valued member of this winning team.”
City’s Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, praised Marmoush’s versatility and goal-scoring prowess, stating that the forward’s ability to play multiple attacking roles would be a valuable asset to the squad. “Omar is an accomplished and exciting forward, and I’m delighted he’s joining us,” Begiristain said. “He has all the attributes a top-class attacker requires, and I have no doubt that working with Pep will see him further develop his superb talent.”
Marmoush’s arrival comes at a crucial time for City, who have struggled for consistency this season. His ability to share the attacking burden with Erling Haaland could prove pivotal as the club aims to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool. With his pace, awareness, and composure in front of goal, Marmoush is expected to make an immediate impact in the Premier League.
The signing also marks another successful transfer for Frankfurt, who have developed a reputation for nurturing talent before selling at a premium. Marmoush follows in the footsteps of players like Randal Kolo Muani, who was sold to Paris Saint-Germain for a club-record fee in 2023. For City, the acquisition represents a statement of intent as they look to reclaim their dominance in English football.
