Manchester City have highlighted the importance of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush, as speculation mounts over his future at the Etihad Stadium amid the ongoing winter transfer window.
Marmoush, 26, has struggled for regular playing time under Pep Guardiola this season, a situation that has fueled uncertainty about his long-term role at Manchester City.
Limited minutes on the pitch have prompted discussions about a possible move away from the Premier League champions to secure more consistent opportunities, with a host of clubs including Aston Villa and Tottenham, as well as Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, and German club Borussia Dortmund expressing keen interest.
Despite the swirling transfer rumours, Manchester City appear intent on maintaining a positive public image around the Egyptian international.
However, the Premier League giants has celebrated Marmoush’s first anniversary at the Etihad Stadium, highlighting his journey since arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt.
“On this day in 2025, Omar Marmoush became a Sky Blue,” the club posted, acknowledging the Egyptian’s contributions over the past year.
Since joining City, Marmoush has featured in 41 matches across all competitions, scoring 9 goals and providing 4 assists. While his playing time has been inconsistent, the statistics underline his potential to influence games when given the opportunity.
As the winter transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Marmoush and Manchester City to see whether he will continue to fight for a place under Guardiola or seek a fresh start elsewhere to reignite his career.
