Manchester City is preparing to recruit an unexpected scorer to support Erling Haaland. A promising and highly coveted target in Europe.
Manchester City are set to strengthen their attacking sector with a surprise signing. While the Sky Blues are looking for a solution to spare their star striker Erling Haaland, an unexpected avenue seems to materialize. But which attacker is it?
According to English sources, it is Omar Marmoush, the Egyptian striker for Eintracht Frankfurt. Author of an exceptional first part of the season with 18 goals in 24 matches, the Pharaoh has established himself as one of the best scorers in Europe. Manchester City is actively negotiating his transfer, which could reach 60 million euros.
A recruit of choice for Manchester City
Since the departure of Julian Alvarez last summer, Manchester City have no real understudy for Haaland. The absence of a striker capable of taking over from the Norwegian has pushed Pep Guardiola to explore options in the transfer market. Omar Marmoush, with his versatility and efficiency in front of goal, appeared to be an ideal solution to strengthen the Mancunian attack.

29 decisive gestures (18 goals scored, 11 assists)
This is the big revelation of this season. Omar Marmoush, the Egyptian striker for Eintracht Frankfurt, has a string of impressive performances. With 18 goals and 11 assists, he is decisive in every match. Heir to Mohamed Salah, Marmoush is a breath of fresh air for African and European football. He proves that a young talent can break out at the highest level with regularity.
The 25-year-old player, who also has Canadian nationality, has been playing in the Bundesliga since 2017. Arriving free at Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, he represents a financially interesting opportunity for the German club, despite their reluctance to sell him in the middle of season.
Marmoush, an attractive profile
Marmoush has impressive statistics this season, with 18 goals and 11 assists, making him the second most decisive player in Europe. His experience in Germany and his ability to adapt to different tactical systems make him a major asset for Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola, facing mixed results recently, has stressed the need to strengthen his squad. If the transfer goes through, Marmoush could offer a valuable alternative to Haaland, while allowing the Sky Blues to maintain their level of competitiveness on all fronts.
