Omar Marmoush to Manchester City?
The Egyptian national player Omar Marmoush is reportedly being considered by Manchester City, with the team looking to strengthen their lineup for the Champions League. The 25-year-old has had an impressive season with Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring 18 goals and providing 12 assists in 24 games.
Manchester City's coach Pep Guardiola has expressed interest in Marmoush, and the team is willing to pay a transfer fee of up to 60 million euros. However, Eintracht Frankfurt is holding out for a higher price, reportedly up to 80 million euros, if Marmoush were to leave. The club wants to ensure they have enough funds to find a suitable replacement and maintain their Europa League goals. Despite Guardiola's initial denial of the rumors, the parties are said to be working towards a quick resolution to clarify the situation.
Meanwhile, other transfer news includes Sadik Fofana's move from Bayer Leverkusen to Grazer AK in Austria, where he signed a contract until 2027. Jonathan Burkardt has ruled out a transfer in the current period and will remain with Mainz, with a market value of 20 million euros. The BVB is also planning to loan Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea, with a market value of 15 million euros. Ridle Baku has joined the Sachsen, signing a contract until 2027, and Loris Karius has completed a medical check at Schalke 04 to potentially replace Ron-Thorben Hoffmann.
As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen whether Omar Marmoush will make the move to Manchester City and what other transfers will take place in the coming weeks. With the Champions League and Europa League competitions heating up, teams are looking to strengthen their lineups and secure their positions in the league tables.
