- Big-money Deal: Struggling Manchester City are closing in on a deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush.
- Farewell to Frankfurt: The 25-year-old Egyptian international appeared to bid farewell to Frankfurt fans on social media.
- Huge Wage Increase: Marmoush set to earn eight times more at City than his reported £32,000 salary in Germany.
Transfer and Financial Details
Omar Marmoush is poised to become one of Manchester City’s highest earners following his imminent move from Eintracht Frankfurt. City have reportedly agreed to an initial £63.4m transfer fee, with an additional £4.2m in potential bonuses. Marmoush was notably left out of Frankfurt’s squad on Friday as negotiations over his departure drew closer to completion.
Sky Sports Germany reports that Marmoush is set to earn close to £275,000 per week at the Etihad Stadium. This would represent a significant leap from his previous reported salary of £32,000 at Frankfurt, placing him among City’s top earners.
High-Wage Tier at City
Marmoush’s new salary would rank him just below Erling Haaland, who earns approximately £500,000 per week after signing his lucrative new contract. Other high earners at City include Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Bernardo Silva, all reportedly earning over £300,000 per week. Comparatively, Marmoush’s wage is higher than the likes of Phil Foden, Rodri, John Stones, and Ilkay Gundogan.
Social Media Farewell
Following his omission from Frankfurt’s squad, Marmoush shared an emotional post on social media. After celebrating on the pitch with his teammates, he posted a photo with the caption, “Forever in my Heart.” This gesture further fueled speculation about his imminent move to Manchester City.
