Man City wants to sign a £50m player who is also being sought after by Arsenal and Liverpool during the January transfer window.

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, is eager to improve his team by bringing in new players. Recent reports suggest that Manchester City is pursuing a deal to sign Omar Marmoush, an in-form forward from Eintracht Frankfurt, for a transfer fee of up to £50million. Marmoush joined Frankfurt on a free transfer in 2023 and has since had an impressive debut season, scoring 12 goals and providing 6 assists in the Bundesliga. This season, the 25-year-old has continued to excel with 18 goals and 12 assists in 24 appearances across all competitions. His performance has helped Frankfurt secure third place in the league, making him a highly sought-after player by top European clubs.

Not only has Marmoush caught the attention of Manchester City, but also other Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal. Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Marmoush remains focused on helping Frankfurt build upon their successful start to the campaign. In a recent interview with German publication Bild, he expressed his commitment to the club and his gratitude for their trust in him. He also stated that he is not thinking about a transfer and is solely focused on giving his best for Frankfurt.

However, Manchester City may face difficulties in securing a deal for Marmoush in January as Frankfurt had initially planned to sell him in the summer. This may give other clubs a chance to swoop in for the attacker. Guardiola had previously mentioned his desire to sign a holding midfielder and a centre-back in the upcoming transfer window to rejuvenate his team. He also acknowledged the struggles they have faced in the absence of key players due to injuries. Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi and Atalanta's Ederson have been scouted as potential midfield signings for City.

Guardiola recognizes that the transfer market can be challenging and expensive, but he remains hopeful that the club can make some important signings to strengthen the team. He also stressed the importance of having a full squad, especially with important players being out for weeks or months due to injuries. Only time will tell if Manchester City will be able to secure a deal for Marmoush or if they will have to look elsewhere for new signings.
