Manchester City target Omar Marmoush did his transfer value some good with a crucial goal for Eintracht Frankfurt in a 1-0 win over St. Pauli in the Bundesliga on Friday. The Egyptian attacker netted his 14th league goal in the 32nd minute, firing clinically as he took one touch and sent the ball into the far post from an uncomfortable angle.
Growing Reputation for Marmoush Amid Transfer Rumors
The sporting director at Frankfurt, Markus Krsche, confirmed interest in Marmoush but refused to identify that suitor as Manchester City. The English champions have struggled of late under Pep Guardiola and may seek different attacking options. As speculation over Marmoush heats up, Krsche refused to discuss specific transfer fees, but reports indicate Frankfurt is holding out for an €80 million ($82 million) transfer fee.
Frankfurt's Transfer Policy: Sell or Keep the Stars On?
Krsche emphasized that Frankfurt are keen on keeping this team together, with the sale of any of their key players possible only in "exceptional circumstances." The club has just recorded a significant transfer windfall after selling Randal Kolo Muani to Paris Saint-Germain for €95 million ($103 million) in 2023.
Marmoush's Brilliant Season: An Asset to Frankfurt
Marmoush, who joined Frankfurt in 2023 on a free transfer from fellow Bundesliga team Wolfsburg, is enjoying the season of his life. The 24-year-old attacker has returned with 19 goals in 25 appearances across all competitions. He is currently contracted to Frankfurt until the summer of 2027, thus giving the German club ample time to field incoming offers and weigh up the same.
What's Next for Omar Marmoush?
While the forward's fine form this season and Frankfurt's stance on his sale may mean that all eyes will be on Marmoush with transfer speculations around him, his growing profile is hot cake that top teams like Manchester City may wish to strengthen for the rest of the season.
