Manchester City are reportedly making significant progress in their pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Omar Marmoush.
The 25-year-old Egyptian international has been in scintillating form this season, contributing 18 goals and 12 assists in 24 appearances across all competitions.
Marmoush’s Attractiveness to Manchester City
Marmoush’s impressive performances have caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
However, Manchester City are believed to be leading the chase for his signature, with Pep Guardiola eager to reinforce his frontline.

The Citizens have been heavily reliant on Erling Haaland’s goals this season, and Marmoush’s addition would provide a much-needed boost to their attacking options.
Progress in Negotiations
According to reports, informal talks between Manchester City and Eintracht Frankfurt are ongoing, with an agreement expected to be reached in the coming days.
However, Frankfurt CEO Markus Krosche has denied any contact with Manchester City, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the transfer.
Challenges in Securing Marmoush’s Signature
Manchester City face several challenges in their pursuit of Marmoush. Frankfurt are determined to keep hold of their star attacker, who is under contract until the summer of 2027.
Additionally, the German club is pushing for Champions League qualification, making it difficult for Manchester City to secure Marmoush’s services this month.
Alternative Targets for Manchester City
Manchester City are also exploring other transfer options, with reinforcements in defence, midfield, and attack high on their agenda.
The Citizens have been linked with several players, including Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov, Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, and Atalanta BC midfielder Ederson.
