Manchester City are pushing for a January deal for the Egypt international Omar Marmoush, a versatile attacker and No 10 from Eintracht Frankfurt who will cost the club around £50 million as they seek to keep up the pursuit of the Premier League leaders after a disastrous run over the previous two months.

According to Hanif Ben Berkane in FootMercato, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have advanced talks, with the club already making an offer for a summer transfer. Marmoush, who is contracted with Frankfurt until June 2027, has reportedly engaged in discussions with City officials and is enthusiastic about the project.
