For his part, the German club said on its website, "Eintracht Frankfurt and Manchester City have reached an agreement regarding the immediate transfer of Omar Marmoush."

Marmoush joined Frankfurt in the summer of 2023, coming from Wolfsburg on a free transfer.

But his brilliance this season, scoring 20 goals and providing 14 assists in 26 matches in various competitions, and leading Frankfurt to third place in the German league, has attracted attention and made Spanish coach Pep Guardiola's team sign him in the winter transfer market.

The 25-year-old is the second top scorer in the Bundesliga with 15 goals, one goal behind Bayern Munich's English striker Harry Kane, who is the top scorer, and has 25 goal contributions in the league (scoring 15 and providing 10 assists).
