Manchester City has signed Egyptian international Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth €75 million, according to multiple sports media outlets. The 25-year-old forward, hailed as one of Africa's brightest talents, gained widespread acclaim during the recent Africa Cup of Nations, where his performances rivaled those of Mohamed Salah.

Marmoush made his mark in Germany’s Bundesliga with his speed, technical prowess, and ambidextrous skills, drawing interest from top European clubs. Manchester City ultimately secured his services, with manager Pep Guardiola poised to further hone the dynamic attacker’s potential.

The transfer positions Marmoush among the most expensive African players in history and provides him the opportunity to compete in the Premier League, football’s most competitive arena. If he continues his upward trajectory, he could soon contend for the African Ballon d’Or, solidifying his status as one of the continent’s footballing elite.
