According to various consistent sources, the transfer of Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt) to Manchester City is imminent.
Omar Marmoush is just a stone’s throw away from Manchester City. If an agreement in principle has existed since the start of the transfer window on the transfer of the prolific Egyptian striker from Eintracht Frankfurt, the positions of the different parties have become significantly closer in recent hoursaccording to various consistent sources. Author of 15 goals this season in the Bundesliga, including a Tuesday against Friborg (4-1), the Pharaon (35 caps, 6 goals) perhaps played his last match with the Eagles on this occasion.
-A transfer worth 80 million euros
According to Sky Sports Germany and its journalist Florian Plettenberg, the two clubs agreed on the concrete terms of a transfer of the 25-year-old player. The amount of the operation would amount to 80 million eurosbonus included, i.e. the sum set by the German club to sell its pyrotechnician, who arrived free from VfL Wolfsburg in July 2023. The pay television channel specifies, however, that official documents are still missing to finalize the transfer. Once the usual medical examination has been completed, the attacker must sign a lease binding him to the Citizens until June 2029.
One last match against Dortmund?
Also at the forefront of the issue, the specialized site The Athletic confirms the imminence of a signature, without giving figures as precise as Sky Sports. If this transfer were to take place under the conditions announced by the latter source, it would be the largest transaction of this winter transfer windowand the second biggest sale in the history of Eintracht Frankfurt, behind a certain Randal Cole Muanisold to Paris Saint-Germain for a check for 85 million euros. It now remains to be seen whether Omar Marmoush will be part of the group selected to face the Borussia Dortmundthis Friday evening for the nineteenth day of the championship.
