Manchester City have reached a verbal agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign striker Omar Marmoush.
Marmoush, who can operate across a front three, has scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga this season, just one behind Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane which is at the top of the ranking with 16.
The Egyptian international agreed in principle to a move to City last week, pending an agreement between the clubs.

Since then, negotiations between the clubs have accelerated, with Eintracht demanding around £67.5m (€80m) to part with their prized asset.
Txiki Begiristan, City’s outgoing sporting director, held fresh talks with Eintracht on Monday with the two clubs edging closer to agreeing a price for Marmoush.
City’s offer on Wednesday is believed to be slightly lower than Eintracht’s initial demands, in the range of £59m (€70m) fixed, plus £4.2m to £8.4m (€5m to €10m) in accessories.
Begiristain now appears to have made the leap – City are set to bolster their attacking options after attempting to revitalize their defense with a deal for Palm trees perspective Viktor Reis and Lens’ Abdukodir Khusanov.
Marmoush joined Eintracht on a free transfer from second Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in 2023.

Sky Sports’ Adam Bate:
Omar Marmoush emerged as Egypt’s second superstar striker. No player in the Bundesliga, not even Harry Kane, has scored more goals than the Eintracht Frankfurt player.
At almost 26 years old, it’s a spectacular rise. Until 2022, Marmoush was in the failing Stuttgart, where he was loaned by the then parent club Wolfsburg. His fortunes have improved dramatically at Frankfurt, a club that has become a specialist in the market game.
Speaking to Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche earlier this season, he was as optimistic as ever about the possibility of the club losing its biggest stars. “Selling players is part of my job. I’m not emotional about it. It’s a job,” he said Sky Sports.
“I try to think of the player. They want titles. They want to play in the Premier League or the Champions League. It’s a normal process. It will come to a point that a player develops faster than the club and then we let him go. Blocking their development is not good.
“That’s what I tell all the players. If your development is faster than our development as a club and I get the money I expect, I’ll let you go. That’s why so many young talents like to come to Frankfurt because we know what we have to do to get them let’s develop.”
But even by Frankfurt’s high standards, Marmoush’s example is extreme. He moved on a free transfer from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023, transformed into one of the best players in the Bundesliga, a versatile striker who can match the best in Europe.
