Manchester City are on the verge of completing the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush, with the Egyptian international reportedly set to earn a massive salary increase at the Etihad Stadium.
City’s January Spending Spree
Amid a challenging season, City have turned to the transfer market to bolster their squad. In addition to center-backs Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, who are set to join for a combined £60m, the club is also eyeing Juventus right-back Andrea Cambiaso in another big-money move.
The latest addition, Marmoush, is expected to cost City an initial £63.4m, with potential bonuses of £4.2m. The 25-year-old was absent from Frankfurt’s squad on Friday as negotiations reached their final stages.
Marmoush’s Lucrative Wages
According to Sky Sports Germany, Marmoush will earn a staggering £275,000 per week at Manchester City—a dramatic increase from his reported £32,000 weekly salary at Frankfurt. This pay rise places him among the top earners at the club, alongside superstars like Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Bernardo Silva.
While Marmoush’s wages will be slightly below Erling Haaland’s league-topping £500,000 per week, he will reportedly earn more than key players like Phil Foden, Rodri, John Stones, and Ilkay Gundogan.
Farewell to Frankfurt
Marmoush appeared to bid an emotional farewell to Frankfurt fans on Friday. Though he didn’t play, the forward joined his teammates in their post-game celebrations and later posted a heartfelt message on social media, captioning a photo: “Forever in my Heart.”
A Big Move for Marmoush
Marmoush has been a standout performer for Frankfurt, and his move to City represents a significant step in his career. The 25-year-old will face stiff competition for minutes, particularly from Erling Haaland, but his reported wages and City’s investment signal their faith in his ability to contribute to the team’s revival.
This transfer marks another high-profile addition for Pep Guardiola’s side as they look to turn their season around and reassert themselves domestically and in Europe.
