Manchester City have officially announced the signing of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Premier League champions have secured the 25-year-old’s services for a reported fee of €75 million plus add-ons.
Marmoush has been one of the standout performers in European football this season, recording an impressive 19 goals and 12 assists for Frankfurt. His market value has skyrocketed from €22 million at the start of the season to €60 million, reflecting his rapid development.
The transfer represents a significant profit for Frankfurt, who signed Marmoush on a free transfer just last year. For the player, this move marks a major step up in his career, with reports from Sky Sports suggesting his salary will increase eightfold from €2 million to €16 million per year.
Marmoush is expected to fill the void left by Julian Alvarez’s departure last summer, providing City with a potent attacking option. This signing, along with the recent addition of Khusanov, demonstrates City’s continued ambition in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their squad further.
The Egyptian international’s arrival at the Etihad Stadium adds firepower to Pep Guardiola’s already formidable attacking lineup, as Manchester City aim to maintain their dominance in English and European football.
