Marmoush, who is the second highest scorer in the Bundesliga this season, passed a medical in Manchester and has signed a four-and-a-half year contract. He has followed defenders Khusanov and Reis as part of manager Pep Guardiola’s expensive mid-season rebuild.
The 25-year-old is a late developer, and Eintracht are making a huge profit after signing him on a free transfer in 2023, while his fee could rise by a further €5m in add-ons. Marmoush, has scored 20 goals and contributed 13 assists for Eintracht this season and City believe he has the attributes of a high-class forward.
Marmoush said: “This is a day I will never forget. To sign for Manchester City – one of the best teams in the world – is an amazing feeling. I am delighted, my family are so proud, and we are all very happy to be here in Manchester. “With Pep, his technical staff and the world-class facilities here, players have everything they need to become better. That was really enticing for me when I had the chance to come here.
“And I cannot deny I also want to win trophies. City have been the most successful club in England for many, many years, so I know I am joining a winning environment and winning culture. I want to learn from the staff and my teammates, and I want to become a valued member of this winning team. I really am looking forward to getting going, meeting the other players and showing the Manchester City fans what I can do.”.
