Manchester City have announced that Omar Marmoush has joined the club from Eintracht Frankfurt and signed a contract until 2029.
Marmoush became Manchester City’s third signing in the January transfer window, following Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis who joined the Premier League champions. The striker has signed a four-and-a-half year contract and leaves the Bundesliga side after scoring 37 goals and contributing 20 assists in 67 games for the club.
Marmoush will add to City’s attacking options and should give the club a big boost in a difficult period. Guardiola’s side have endured a disappointing campaign so far and suffered another blow on Wednesday when they suffered a 4-2 defeat to PSG, leaving their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage of the Champions League. Marmoush will wear the No.7 jersey at the Etihad Stadium.
