Frankfurt has found Omar Marmoush’s replacement at OM

It’s only a matter of time before this transfer is made official. As we revealed to you several weeks ago, Manchester City had reached an agreement with Frankfurt for the transfer of Omar Marmoush. The English club, having been struggling for several months, quickly decided to match the 80 million euros requested by the German club. This Friday, the Egyptian international, author of 20 goals and 14 assists in 26 matches, bid farewell to the supporters after the match against Dortmund.

With this transfer, Frankfurt completes a very big sale a year and a half after recovering 90 million from that of Kolo Muani. The German management, which seems efficient in unearthing and developing players with strong offensive potential, is actively looking for a replacement for the Egyptian. And Frankfurt’s priority is in Ligue 1. According to information from RMC Sportthe current 3rd in the Bundesliga decided to go for Elye Wahi, in difficulty with OM only 6 months after his arrival.

OM does not want to sell off its player

According to the indiscretions of the French media, negotiations have started between the different parties. OM, who paid 30 million euros this summer to afford it, are not against parting with it this winter. But the Marseille club wants a return on investment and does not want to sell off its player despite his poor form and his 3 goals in 14 matches this season.

OM therefore hopes that Frankfurt, which will cash a large check with Marmoush, will agree to align with its financial requirements. For his part, Elye Wahi, who fell behind Maupay in the hierarchy of attackers in just a few weeks, could therefore relaunch in Germany in a championship renowned for highlighting attackers. And if there is a departure this winter, OM will necessarily have to find a replacement to allow Roberto De Zerbi to have several options in this position.
