Manchester City are in “advanced talks” with Frankfurt star Omar Mamouch over a transfer in January and are in “concrete talks” over a £50m move to the Etihad Stadium this month.
Mamouch is in excellent form this season, scoring 13 goals and providing 8 assists in 15 Bundesliga games.
He joined 2022 Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer from German rivals Wolfsburg in July 2023 and looks set to be sold for a huge profit.
There is a lot of interest in the 25-year-old, who has contributed 35 goals and 18 assists in 65 games for Adler. Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked with January moves.
Capable of playing anywhere across the front line, Mamouch would provide cover for Erling Haaland while also giving Guardiola the option of playing him alongside his star striker to boost the team’s attacking output.
The Premier League champions sold Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid in the summer and chose not to sign a replacement, something that has troubled them this season.
Their form in 2024/25 is exceptionally poor and a lack of versatility in attack is a big issue, although not as serious as the loss of Rodri to an ACL injury, which looks set to keep the Ballon d’Or winner out for the majority of the campaign. season.
Tuesday’s report It has been revealed that Mamouche is Manchester City’s top target and Manchester City are “pushing” to sign him in the winter transfer window.
Another recent report claimed that Manchester City have presented their summer transfer plans to player representatives.
Now transfer expert Florian Plettenberg claims talks between City, Mamouche and his representatives have “made progress” and the forward is “open to an immediate move”
