Manchester City’s pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Omar Marmoush has gained momentum, with the club seeking to address their reliance on Erling Haaland for goals.
Marmoush, 25, has been in scintillating form this season, contributing 18 goals and 12 assists in 24 appearances for Frankfurt.
Marmoush’s Versatility and Hunger for Goals
City expert Steven McInerney believes Marmoush’s versatility, intelligence, and directness make him an attractive prospect for Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Egyptian attacker can play on either flank, behind the striker, or as a striker himself, offering City a different dimension in attack.
McInerney praises Marmoush’s “undeniable quality” and his ability to take responsibility for scoring goals.
Addressing Manchester City’s Goal-Scoring Issues
Manchester City’s over-reliance on Haaland has been a concern, with McInerney highlighting the need for other players to contribute goals.
He cites Liverpool’s balanced attack, where multiple players are chipping in with goals, as an example City should follow.
Marmoush’s arrival could help alleviate this issue, bringing a fresh perspective and goal-scoring threat to City’s attack.
Marmoush’s Profile and Potential
Marmoush’s profile, age, and experience in the Bundesliga make him an attractive prospect for City. McInerney believes the attacker has the hunger and smarts to take the next step in his career and thrive under Guardiola.
While there is always a risk involved in signing a new player, McInerney thinks Marmoush’s quality is undeniable, making him a worthwhile addition to City’s squad.
A Summer Move on the Cards?
Although City’s interest in Marmoush is genuine, McInerney suggests that a summer move might be more likely.
Frankfurt’s willingness to sell players for the right price could facilitate a deal, but City will need to weigh up the costs and benefits of signing Marmoush.
