Manchester City prepare for Marmoush exit with €40m move for Palmeiras forward
Egypt international Omar Marmoush could be on his way out of Manchester City, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly making progress in talks to sign the forward.
The development comes as City move quickly to strengthen their attack, reaching an agreement to sign Palmeiras forward Allan Elias for a deal worth up to €40m.
According to The Athletic, City have agreed to pay €37.5m initially for the Brazilian, with a further €2.5m available in bonuses and add-ons.
Tottenham make progress for Egypt star
Tottenham are reportedly advancing in negotiations for Marmoush, who joined City as part of their attacking plans.
The Egypt international’s potential departure would leave a significant gap in City’s forward line, particularly with Brazilian winger Savinho also heading for the exit after agreeing a move to Tottenham for £75m upfront and £10m in possible add-ons.
Allan’s arrival is therefore viewed as part of City’s response to the expected changes in their attacking department.
Marmoush future takes shape
The reported Tottenham interest represents another major development in Marmoush’s career after his move to the Premier League.
For Egypt, the possibility of Marmoush joining Tottenham will be closely watched as the forward continues to establish himself as one of the country’s leading attacking players.
City’s decision to pursue Allan, despite Palmeiras previously valuing the Brazilian’s release clause at €100m, suggests they are preparing for further movement in their attack.
The coming days could determine whether Marmoush remains at the Etihad Stadium or begins a new chapter in north London.
