Manchester City is starting to move. It is seeking to recruit large-scale players to rebound in the second half of the year.

The British Telegraph reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'Man City is seeking to recruit Omar Marmusch for the winter.

The Telegraph said 'Marmusch's recruitment would require more than 50 million pounds (about 90 billion won). After a disastrous two months, Man City still want the league lead. Marmusch said the sale was originally planned for this summer.




Born in 1999, striker Marmusch is from Egypt and made his professional debut with Wolfsburg in the 2019-2020 season. He, who has been playing the main role in the first division since the 2022-2023 season, moved to Frankfurt ahead of last season and was in full swing. Marmusch, which has an advantage of great focus, balance, and activity, is a versatile resource that can play both the front line and the second line. The Egyptian national team is also expected to be the next ace after Salah.

Marmusch, who played in 47 official games last season and already surpassed 20 offensive points with 17 goals and 6 assists, has a better pace this season. He has 18 goals and 11 assists in 24 official matches. He scored more points than Harry Kane (20 goals and seven assists), one of the best strikers in the world. After joining Frankfurt, he bombed the Bundesliga with 35 goals and 17 assists in 65 games. In both last season and this season, Kim Min-jae was also outstanding in the face-off against Bayern Munich. Kim Min-jae, the world's top defender, also has speed and goal-scoring ability to struggle.

Manchester City can seek a turnaround in the second half by recruiting Marmusch. This season's transfer of Julian Alvarez and sluggish Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku have greatly reduced the destructive power of the second line, and Elling Holan's ups and downs have increased. The league's performance also fell to sixth place. Marmusch's presence, which can play most of the positions on the front line, can be a recruit that can break through the frustrating trend of Manchester City.




The problem is the transfer fee. Marmusch joined Frankfurt on a free contract in 2023, but its value has already soared to 60 million euros (about 90 billion won) this season. Considering that Frankfurt's contract with Marmusch remains until 2027 and is reluctant to sell winter, it seems difficult to make a transfer unless Manchester City pays a huge transfer fee.

Attention is focusing on whether Manchester City, which has been mired in an unexpected slump this season, will be able to make a turnaround by recruiting a large striker named Marmusch in the transfer market this winter.
