Galatasaray target Man City forward Omar Marmoush

Galatasaray are exploring a move for Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush as they look to rebuild their attack following Mauro Icardi’s departure.

The Turkish champions want a high-profile partner for Victor Osimhen and see the Egypt international as a strong fit for that role.

Reports in Turkey suggest City are open to reshaping their squad under new head coach Enzo Maresca, with Marmoush among the players drawing interest. His price tag, believed to be around £70 million, makes a permanent deal difficult, so Galatasaray are considering a loan as a more realistic option.

Marmoush endured a difficult first season at City, struggling for regular minutes under Pep Guardiola and often starting on the bench. Persistent rumors of a winter exit never turned into a move, and even after Guardiola’s departure, his future has remained uncertain. Several clubs are monitoring the situation, with Tottenham Hotspur frequently mentioned among those keen to bring him in.

For Marmoush, a switch to Galatasaray could offer a reset and the chance to be a key attacking piece alongside Osimhen, rather than a rotational option in Manchester.
