Manchester City closes their third winter signing: 70 million

Manchester City has secured the signing of Omar Marmoush, the star striker from Eintracht Frankfurt, in a move that significantly strengthens the front line of the current Premier League champions. With a deal worth around 70 million euros, the 25-year-old Egyptian attacker has signed a five-year contract with the team managed by Pep Guardiola.

Marmoush comes in direct response to City's offensive needs following the departure of Julián Álvarez last summer. His outstanding performances in the Bundesliga, where he has scored 15 goals in 17 games, have made him one of the sensations of the season and a top priority target for the English club. His speed, skill, and ability to finish plays, including free kicks, have caught Guardiola's eye, who was looking for a versatile and goal-scoring player to complement Erling Haaland.

Omar Marmoush, the chosen one to back up Haaland

The Egyptian, who started his career in Germany with Wolfsburg and had loan spells at Sankt Pauli and Stuttgart, has found in Eintracht Frankfurt the ideal place to unleash his full potential. Now, Marmoush makes the leap to a European giant, where he will seek to establish himself in one of the most competitive leagues in the world and shine on international stages like the Champions League.

This signing, along with the recent arrivals of Vitor Reis and Khusanov to strengthen the defense, reaffirms Manchester City's ambition to maintain its dominance both in England and in Europe. With Marmoush, the citizens not only gain a goal scorer but also a player who can make a difference in key matches. His incorporation will be official after the medical tests, and it is expected that he will join the squad in the coming days.
