Marmoush has already agreed personal terms and City are in the throes of negotiating the structure of the fee before signing the prolific forward. But reports coming out of Germany have raised some doubt over the move, first with the news from Sky Germany that the 25-year-old is expected to be in his side's starting line-up for their clash against SC Freiburg on Tuesday.

This was followed by comments from the Frankfurt boss Toppmoller, who said: 'It’s not out of the question that he stays here.'. City had originally hoped to land Marmoush for around £40m but Frankfurt have been insistent that they want a premium because it is the January window and they need to find a replacement.
