In the past few days it seemed only a matter of time before this deal would be officially announced. That didn’t happen until early Friday evening – although ex-St.Pauli striker Omar Marmoush in the Eintracht Frankfurt squad for the game against BVB (8.30 p.m.). The Hessians announced this a good hour before kick-off and wrote on X: “Eintracht Frankfurt is currently in talks with another club regarding a transfer from Omar Marmoush. Therefore, the player is not part of the squad today.” It has long been clear where the Egyptian, who scored the 1-0 winning goal for the SGE against the neighborhood club last Saturday, will be heading: to Manchester City in the Premier League and Pep Guardiola. According to media reports, the transfer hammer will cost around 75 to 80 million euros. The clubs are now said to have agreed on the financial modalities. Coach Dino Toppmöller announced on Thursday that the 25-year-old would “normally play” against BVB. The change is now obviously imminent.
