The race to sign Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush is intensifying, with several top European clubs vying for the 25-year-old Egyptian international. His stellar Bundesliga performances this season—13 goals and 7 assists in just 15 appearances—have made him one of the league’s standout players. However, conflicting reports have emerged regarding his potential transfer.
Frankfurt’s Stance and Asking Price
Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly open to selling Marmoush if their €60 million (£50 million or $64.8 million) asking price is met (Fussball News). Despite the interest from top clubs, Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has clarified that no formal negotiations or offers have been made. Frankfurt have yet to hear from Marmoush or his representatives about an intention to leave during this transfer window.
Manchester City Lead the Chase
Manchester City appear to be leading the race for Marmoush, with Foot Mercato reporting that the Premier League champions have presented a contract offer to the forward. Marmoush is said to be intrigued by City’s project, but no discussions between City and Frankfurt have taken place, as confirmed by multiple sources.
Interest from PSG, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Arsenal
PSG have also shown concrete interest, with scouts attending Frankfurt’s recent UEFA Europa League match against Midtjylland (The Mirror). Meanwhile, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Arsenal are closely monitoring the situation, though Marmoush is reportedly leaning toward a move to Manchester City.
Marmoush’s Current Focus
Despite the transfer speculation, Marmoush has publicly dismissed rumours, stating that he remains focused on his current club. His remarkable form in the Bundesliga has not only elevated Frankfurt’s attacking prowess but also solidified his reputation as one of Europe’s rising stars.
While the race for Omar Marmoush’s signature heats up, conflicting reports highlight the complexity of the situation. Manchester City may be the frontrunners, but without formal negotiations or offers, his future remains uncertain. Frankfurt’s €60 million asking price could also prove a stumbling block, especially for clubs unwilling to pay over the odds. As things stand, Marmoush’s immediate focus remains on his performances for Eintracht Frankfurt.
