Omar Marmoush Joins Man City in £63M Move to Boost Pep Guardiola’s Squad
Manchester City has made headlines by securing the signing of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth £63 million, taking their January transfer spend to an impressive £125 million. Pep Guardiola, keen to revitalize his struggling side, brought in Marmoush to add firepower to the attacking lineup and inject new energy into their campaign.
At just 25 years old, Marmoush arrives with a glowing reputation. The Egyptian international has been in scintillating form this season, netting 20 goals in 26 appearances for Frankfurt. This signing follows City’s summer sale of Julian Alvarez and fills a critical gap alongside star striker Erling Haaland. Taking the No. 7 shirt, previously worn by notable players like Raheem Sterling and James Milner, Marmoush hopes to write his own chapter in City’s history.

In his first statement as a Manchester City player, Marmoush expressed his excitement about joining one of the world’s top football clubs. "This is a day I will never forget. To sign for Manchester City – one of the best teams in the world – is an amazing feeling. My family and I are proud and thrilled to start this new chapter," he said. He also shared his ambition to grow as a player under Guardiola's guidance and contribute to City’s winning culture.
The deal includes an initial fee of £59 million with potential bonuses of £4 million, tying Marmoush to the Etihad until June 2029. Pep Guardiola and City’s Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, praised Marmoush’s versatility, pace, and finishing ability. His ability to play multiple attacking roles adds valuable depth to the squad as they look to compete on multiple fronts.
Marmoush’s move marks City’s third signing of the January transfer window, alongside defenders Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis. With his proven track record in the Bundesliga—where he was second only to Harry Kane in scoring—Marmoush brings high expectations. City fans are eager to see if this promising addition will spark a resurgence in form and help propel the team back to winning ways.
