Omar Marmoush
By Ibrozano Adams
Manchester City are working and hoping to conclude an agreement and deal for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush in the next two days.
The Egypt international has been firmly identified as the Premier League champions number one target in the attack, even as they have moved swiftly to secure two new defensive options to bolster Pep Guardiola’s rearguard too.
Manchester City’s struggles this season have been attributed to reoccurring injury problems in defence, and as part of the club’s future planning, they have moved effectively to bring in a 19-year-old and 20-year-old to the squad.
Abdukodir Khusanov who will be switching from Lens in a €40 million deal is expected to become the Premier League’s first-ever Uzbekistan international player while Vitor Reis is coming from Palmeiras in Brazil for an initial £29.5 million fee.
Omar Marmoush may have played his final game
on Tuesday night for Eintracht Frankfurt, even as in the background,
According to a report from Germany’, negotiations between Eintracht Frankfurt and Manchester City for Omar Marmoush remain ongoing, with the Premier League champions aiming to finalise a deal within the next 48 hours despite City’s latest proposal of around €65 million deemed ‘not enough, but it is expected that an agreement will come in the region of a €70 million fixed fee, plus a further €5 million to €10 million in add-ons.
It’s unlikely’ that Omar Marmoush will play for Eintracht Frankfurt in their next Bundesliga clash on Friday night against Borussia Dortmund but he further added to his remarkable tally for Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday night by providing two assists and a goal of his own in a 4-1 home victory over SC Freiburg in Bundesliga action, which takes his overall tally for the season to 15 goals and 10 assists in just 17 appearances, thereby emphasising why Manchester City are so determined to bring him to England at the earliest opportunity.
Meanwhile, a tricky tie awaits Manchester City as they travel to Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon in their latest Premier League outing, having thrown away a 0-2 lead with 13 minutes to go on Tuesday night against Brentford to come away from the Gtech Community Stadium with just a point.
