At one point, Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmoush was linked to Bayern Munich. Now, though, Manchester City has stormed ahead in the race to land the 25-year-old per Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg:
As reported yesterday, Manchester City and Eintracht Frankfurt are not far apart.
#SGE demand €80m. The current offer from England is slightly below that. As revealed #MCFC believe the deal can be finalised in the range of €70m fixed + €5-10m add-ons.
Man City with Txiki Begiristain pushing for an agreement in the next 48 hours. At this stage, it’s unlikely that Omar #Marmoush will play against Dortmund on Friday.
Atmosphere between all parties is still good.
Marmoush’s exit would be a crushing blow to Eintracht Frankfurt’s fading Bundesliga title hopes and would certainly be bad for the league, but it will fill the coffers of his current club. Eintracht Frankfurt has proven to be astute in selling at the right time, investing wisely, and developing talent.
For the betterment of the Bundesliga, let’s hope that trend continues.
