Omar Marmoush agrees to Man City move

However, the transfer hinges on the clubs reaching a financial agreement.

Eintracht Frankfurt have set a high bar, demanding around 80 million euros for Marmoush, who has been a revelation in the Bundesliga this season.

Negotiations are anticipated to commence this week, with whispers suggesting that City might table their opening offer as soon as this weekend.

Marmoush's eagerness to join City stems from his understanding that he tops Pep Guardiola's wish list.

However, Frankfurt's position is firm; with no release clause in Marmoush's contract, the club are prepared to reject offers well below their valuation, especially given their strong standing in third place in the Bundesliga.

On the other hand, both Manchester City and Marmoush's representatives believe a more feasible transfer fee would land somewhere between 50 and 60 million euros. This valuation seems to better reflect the market, considering Marseille's recent deal for Alexis Sanchez was around a similar figure.

Marmoush has showcased his versatility and scoring prowess this season, netting 13 goals in the Bundesliga, only outscored by Bayern Munich's Harry Kane.

Across all competitions, he has contributed 18 goals, positioning him just behind his fellow Egyptian, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, in terms of goal involvements in Europe's top five leagues.

The negotiations will be closely watched, as both clubs navigate the financial and strategic implications of this potential transfer.
