While marmoush

UEFA Europa League: As Frankfurt's arena turned into a farewell party zone for Omar Marmoush, the future of the 25-year-old Egyptian striker remains uncertain. Marmoush has become the centre of transfer speculation, with reports of a €70 million bid from Manchester City.

Struggling English champions Manchester City submitted an official bid on Tuesday evening and behind-the-scenes negotiations are said to be ongoing, with Eintracht Frankfurt's sporting director Markus Krosche maintaining a composed demeanour. The 2022 UEFA Europa League champions are reportedly holding out for at least €80 million, placing the club in a strong bargaining position.

While Marmoush seems likely to depart before the German winter transfer window closes on Feb. 3, he continues to deliver on the field. His stellar performances, including a goal in Frankfurt's recent 4-1 victory over Freiburg, have propelled the team to 33 points midway through the season, reports Xinhua. Marmoush's tally of 15 goals and 10 assists in 17 Bundesliga matches has made him one of Europe's most sought-after forwards.
