Egyptian-Canadian forward Omar Marmoush is being linked with a move from Manchester City to Atlético Madrid, according to transfer data compiled on 22 December 2025.
The 26-year-old centre-forward, currently listed with a market value of €65.00m, has emerged as a potential target for the La Liga side, with the move categorised as a rumour and no probability rating attached. There is no public information in the data about the length of his deal at City, leaving open the possibility that contract status or future free agency could influence negotiations.
Marmoush only joined Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt during the 2024-25 season, following a rapid rise in his valuation while in the Bundesliga. His market value climbed from €8m at Frankfurt in October 2023 to €60m by December 2024, before peaking at €75m in March 2025 and settling at €65m in the latest update on 9 December 2025. That trajectory is likely to inform any fee Atlético might be expected to pay if talks progress.
The Cairo-born attacker, who holds both Egyptian and Canadian nationality, is primarily used as a centre-forward and wears the number 7 shirt at City. The data provided does not include specific recent match details such as opponents, dates, scorelines or individual performances, so it is unclear which display may have prompted this latest link to Spain.
Marmoush’s career path has already taken him from Wadi Degla in Egypt to Germany with Wolfsburg II, then Wolfsburg’s first team, loan spells at FC St. Pauli and VfB Stuttgart, a permanent move to Eintracht Frankfurt and, most recently, the Premier League with Manchester City. He has therefore featured in top-flight football in both Germany and England before this mooted La Liga switch.
With the rumour at an early stage and no contract end date disclosed, any move to Atlético remains speculative, but a transfer to Spain’s top tier would represent another significant step in Marmoush’s upward trajectory and could further define his reputation at the highest level if it comes to pass.
