Man City near transfer agreement for £50m star who has scored 18 goals in just 24 games this season, despite interest from Liverpool and Arsenal

Pep Guardiola’s side could face competition in the form of rivals Liverpool and Arsenal

City are expected to embark on a busy January transfer window as Guardiola looks to turn the champions’ season around, although the manager is keen not to let any of his core stars leave the club. 

There is a realisation from the Premier League champions that purchasing the right targets will be no easy feat in the middle of a campaign.

Sales would, you suspect, arise as a result of a player making it known that they are desperate to leave and that the money on offer was then deemed appropriate. In that respect, there won’t be much change to City’s operation. 

Liverpool and Arsenal have also been following Marmoush but have not followed up their interest and City are willing to pay around £50million for a player who can play across the frontline or behind the striker.

They want to add another midfielder and a centre back with talks having taken place over Lens’ £35m-rated Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Khusanov, 20, and 18-year old Juma Bah of AIK Freetong.

Looking specifically at the situations of Marmoush, Frankfurt are eager to cement a spot in next year’s Champions League. Losing their shining light at this stage would prove a bitter pill.

Manchester City are progressing towards an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt for forward Omar Marmoush.

Fifteen of City’s squad have suffered at least one fitness issue this term – Stefan Ortega, Rico Lewis, Ilkay Gundogan, Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva the only five to have remained injury-free. 

Marmoush is second in the Bundesliga goal scoring charts behind only England’s Harry Kane

Mail Sport first revealed City’s interest in December and the Egypt international is eager for the move to go through to the Premier League champions.

Captain Kyle Walker and goalkeeper Ederson are the subject of interest from the Saudi Pro League, while question marks remain over Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish. James McAtee remains a hot property across Europe and Kevin De Bruyne has entered the final six months of his contract.
