Marmoush: Risk for 80 million changes or perfect performance?

coach Dino Toppmöller from Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed that striker Omar Marmoush should be in the game against FC St. Pauli. This has led to speculation that this could be a tactical move with regard to negotiations with Manchester City. Eintracht Frankfurt could take a certain risk because a possible violation of Marmoush could endanger the planned 80 million euro transfer. This scenario is reminiscent of Leroy Sané, who was injured in 2019 before a change, which ultimately led to a cheaper transfer.

Marmoush is considered one of the hardest attacked players in the Bundesliga. Despite the excitement about the transfer situation, Toppmöller noticed no changes in the player's training. However, there are concerns in the club whether marmoush is mentally mentally on the matter because he is said to have told his teammates about the negotiations with Manchester City. At the same time, Eintracht Frankfurt is aiming to defend third place in the Bundesliga, which is of financial importance.

negotiations with Manchester City

Eintracht Frankfurt demands 80 million euros for Omar Marmoush, who has already scored 18 goals and 11 assists in 24 games this season. Manchester City shows interest in the player and has advanced discussions about a possible winter change. Frankfurt, however, delays their best player in the middle of the season, especially because Marmoush's contract runs until 2027 and does not contain any exit clause. Offers under 80 million euros are strictly rejected by Frankfurt, while Manchester City considers a price of 50 to 60 million euros more realistic. So far, however, there have been no negotiations between the two clubs. Nottingham Forest had tried in summer to sign marmoush for 30 million euros, which was also rejected.

Eintracht Frankfurt is known for its hard negotiations. One example is the sale of Randal Kolo Muani for 95 million euros to PSG in 2023. In addition to Marmoush, Jonathan Burkardt von Mainz and Arnaud Kalimuendo von Rennes are mentioned as possible successors, but Mainz categorically excluded a departure from Burkardt this month.
