Manchester City has confirmed the signing of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt for an initial fee of £59 million ($72.6 million), with the possibility of an additional £4.2 million in add-ons. The 25-year-old forward has committed to a four-and-a-half-year deal with the reigning Premier League champions, bolstering their squad during the January transfer window. Marmoush is the club's third signing this month, joining defenders Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.
Marmoush expressed his excitement about joining Manchester City, describing the move as a significant moment in his career. The club’s director of football, Txiki Begiristain, highlighted the forward's impressive qualities, praising his pace, goal-scoring ability, and versatility. According to Begiristain, Marmoush’s consistent ability to influence games and his adaptability across multiple positions make him a valuable addition to the team.
The arrival of Marmoush comes at a challenging time for Manchester City. The team, champions for the past four seasons, currently sits fifth in the Premier League, trailing leaders Liverpool by 12 points with an extra game played. Additionally, a recent loss to Paris Saint-Germain has left Pep Guardiola’s side in a precarious position in the Champions League, with their hopes of advancing to the knockout stages hanging in the balance.
