Omar Marmoush joins Man City from Frankfurt in a £59m deal

Manchester City’s director of football, Txiki Begiristain, praised Omar Marmoush for his impressive speed and sharp awareness.

He also highlighted Marmoush’s ability to play in different positions as a great advantage for the team.

Marmoush started his football career with Wadi Degla in Egypt’s Premier League before moving to German club VfL Wolfsburg in 2020.

During his time in Germany, he was loaned to FC St Pauli and VfB Stuttgart before joining Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023. At Frankfurt, he played 67 matches, scoring 37 goals and providing 20 assists.

“Manchester City is one of the biggest clubs in the world over the past 10 years, so it was not a question,” Marmoush said.

“It’s a pleasure and an honour for me and my family to be representing Manchester City. It makes them happy; it makes me happy that my dreams are becoming a reality.

“The last two seasons have been great, but it is just the beginning for me.”

City have also signed 19-year-old Brazilian defender Vitor Reis from Palmeiras for £30m and Uzbekistan defender Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens for £34m in the January transfer window.

Marmoush, who has played as a striker, a number 10 and a winger, said: “On the pitch I am fast, good on the ball, I try to see where the spaces are and exploit the spaces – and I’m dangerous.

“My main strength I would say is that I always want to win – that is from a character point of view.”
