Premier League Champions Strengthen Position in Negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt
Manchester City has taken a significant step toward signing Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush by securing personal terms with the 25-year-old Egyptian international, according to former City financial adviser Stefan Borson in a chat with footballinsider247
Terms Agreed, But Valuation Gap Remains
Marmoush, who has been in scintillating form this season with 19 goals and eight assists in 25 appearances, including a recent winner against St. Pauli, has reportedly expressed a desire to move to the Etihad. However, the two clubs are yet to agree on a transfer fee.
Frankfurt values the striker at £67 million, while Manchester City is aiming for a deal closer to £50 million. Borson believes the gap could be bridged through performance-based add-ons and contingent fees, a common approach in high-profile transfers.
Player’s Stance Bolsters City’s Position
“The usual strategy of securing the player’s commitment first has worked in City’s favor,” Borson explained. “Marmoush has made it clear to Frankfurt that he wants the move and only to City. That stance puts Frankfurt in a position where they must choose between holding out until summer or negotiating a deal now.”
Reports from Germany suggest that Frankfurt initially intended to keep Marmoush until the end of the season. However, City’s determination and the player’s insistence on the transfer could compel the Bundesliga club to reconsider.
Deal Likely to Be Finalized
Borson expressed optimism about the transfer being completed, stating: “For a forward of Marmoush’s caliber, the financial gap isn’t insurmountable. If City is serious about the player—and it appears they are—this deal is likely to happen this month.”
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly eager to bolster his attacking options as the team chases silverware on multiple fronts. If the deal is finalized, Marmoush will become another high-profile addition to Guardiola’s star-studded squad.
