Omar Marmoush will leave Eintracht Frankfurt for Manchester City. The striker is no longer in the Hessian squad against Dortmund. However, the change is still not official.
The transfer of Eintracht Frankfurt’s top striker Omar Marmoush to Manchester City is imminent. According to consistent media reports, the Hessian Bundesliga club agreed on the million-dollar move with the top team from England. There is currently no official confirmation from the two clubs. There was even a denial from Eintracht on Friday morning: There was no agreement yet, the Hessians announced. However, Marmoush was not in the squad for the home game against Borussia Dortmund in the evening. A clear signal.
“We are in close contact with Manchester City,” said Frankfurt sports director Markus Krösche just under three quarters of an hour before kick-off on Dazn: “Let’s see how it develops in the next few hours and days.” The probability that the goalscorer will leave the club is “very high”. According to the manager, it was not planned that a change could take place in the winter, but: “It’s just part of the business.” But, said Krösche, Marmoush is still in Frankfurt. Just not in the evening at the Waldstadion.
City should put together a transfer package of around 80 million euros for Marmoush, which already includes possible bonus payments, according to media reports. This corresponds to information from hr-sport. The Egyptian actually still has a contract on the Main until the summer of 2027. This would make him the second most expensive departure from Eintracht in history after Randal Kolo Muani, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 for 95 million euros.
There is one for Marmoush Five year contract ready
At the English champions under coach Pep Guardiolawho recently slipped into a severe crisis, a five-year contract is apparently in store for Marmoush. According to Sky, he is expected to earn a gross salary of (insane) 16 million euros. The attacker is expected to fly to the island soon to complete the medical check.
It is said that Eintracht would not have been wrong if Marmoush had played for them one last time against Dortmund. City, on the other hand, was probably pushing for the opposite.
The Egyptian has blossomed into an absolute top striker in his one and a half years in Frankfurt. In the current round he has scored 15 goals in 17 games for the Hessians and set up ten more. He is the second best goalscorer and scorer in the league after Bayern’s Harry Kane. The kicker had ennobled Marmoush with the title “world class” in the winter. In the coming days, Eintracht will have to find an adequate replacement. There really are easier tasks.
