Manchester City has completed the signing of Egypt forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt for 70 million euros (£59 million).
The 25-year-old has secured a contract until June 2029, with potential add-ons increasing the total to £4 million.
Marmoush has been in impressive form this season, scoring 15 goals in 17 Bundesliga appearances, placing him second only to England captain Harry Kane, who has netted 16 goals for Bayern Munich.
“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.”
City’s director of football, Txiki Begiristain, praised Marmoush for his “outstanding pace and awareness,” highlighting that his versatility makes him a “really valuable asset.”
Marmoush started his career at Wadi Degla in the Egyptian Premier League before joining VfL Wolfsburg in 2020.
He had loan spells at FC St Pauli and VfB Stuttgart before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023. At Frankfurt, Marmoush impressed, scoring 37 goals and providing 20 assists in 67 appearances.
