In difficulty this season in the Premier League and defeated by PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday, Manchester City is only in 5th place after 22 days of the championship. A complicated situation for the title holder who experienced problems on all lines. In a failing offensive sector where only Erling Haaland manages to score, the Sky Blues wanted to bring a different profile in order to be more decisive.
This is why the English club quickly decided to bet on Omar Marmoush (25 years old). The Egyptian international striker had a great start to the season with Eintracht Frankfurt where he scored 20 goals and provided 14 assists in just 26 matches. A significant return which therefore pushed Manchester City to break the bank.

Proud to announce the news, the English club issued a press release.
