Omar Marmoush has emerged as another star player for Egypt. No player in the Bundesliga has been involved in more goals than the Eintracht Frankfurt man, not even Harry Kane. Now it looks like Manchester City want to bring him to the Premier League.

About 26, it has been an amazing increase. As of 2022, Marmusch was at that time struggling on loan at parent club Wolfsburg in Stuttgart. The fortunes of the market-savvy club in Frankfurt have improved significantly.

Speaking to Frankfurt sporting director Markus Kroes earlier this season, he was as coy as ever about the club’s potential to lose some of its biggest stars. “Selling players is part of my job. I’m not emotional about it. It’s business,” he said. Sky Sports.

Sky Germany report that ‘substantial negotiations’ are underway with Man City over Marmoux.

“I try to think of the player, they want a title, they want to play in the Premier League or the Champions League. This is a normal process, there will be a point where the player will develop faster than the club and then we will let him go. It is not good to block their development.

“This is what I say to all players. If your development is faster than our development as a club and I get the money I expect, I will let you go. That’s why many young talents like to come to Frankfurt because we are. Know what we have to do to develop them.”

But, even by Frankfurt’s highest standards, Marmoux’s example is extreme. In the year He was signed on a free transfer from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023 and has developed into one of the best players in the Bundesliga, an all-round striker who is a contender for Europe’s best.

He scored five Bundesliga goals at Wolfsburg that final year. He had never reached double figures for a league campaign until his stoppage time in Frankfurt. But that 12-goal tally in his first season was crowded out in the second half of the second half. He is 13.

If this is a testament to Frankfurt’s ability to spot talent, Marmouche’s rise is not entirely unexpected. Michael Wimmer is the coach who worked closely with the player in the 2021/22 season.

“I was not surprised by all of this because I was convinced that Omar had great potential,” Wimmer said. Sky Sports. “It was already clear that he had a great future ahead of him. He knew exactly what he wanted and had the determination and mindset to achieve it.”

Wimmer recalls Marmus’s remarkable desire to improve, though not necessarily. After training, he insists on staying outside to work on the finish. “No matter what the weather, Omar, I don’t care if I get cold or drink!”

It was important that he was given the details. Marmusch’s last game for Stuttgart was crucial for the club. They needed to win to stay in the Bundesliga and were chasing a late goal against Cologne. Marmusch came off the bench to help make that happen.

“It was the 92nd minute and Omar put a lot of pressure on him and took the last corner of the game,” Wimmer said. It was done in a flash. “At the head of Wataru (Indo). He confirmed our place in the Bundesliga.” Stuttgart are now in the Champions League.

Marmusch’s progress has been impressive and Wimmer is enough to thank Frankfurt coach Dino Topmöller for bringing out the best in the player. “The way Frankfurt play football is good for Omar. He suits it perfectly.”

But part of what makes Marmusch such an attractive proposition is not only his ability to work in a variety of different roles on the team, but also his ability to step up regardless of the coach’s intentions or the state of the game.

“When Umar came to us, he was accepted immediately because everyone knew he would understand and support us. He can adapt quickly and will suit many clubs because he is very flexible and can adapt to many styles of play.

Omar is the perfect attacking midfielder.

“For example, he can play against an opponent with a low block because he has the technical ability to solve one-on-one situations and the ability to find solutions in tight spaces. Thanks to his game awareness, he is a good combination player.

But all clubs who play strong and attacking football will suit Omar because he has the characteristics in transition play and can use his pace and dynamic play towards the goal. .

And if a team often needs the spaces between them to create numerical pressure in their halves, that’s perfect for him as well, as he has the ability to pivot at the right time and solve situations with agility and creativity. .”

His versatility may be what makes him particularly attractive to Manchester City. Their faith in Erling Haaland has resulted in him starting every game for the club in the Premier League and Champions League this season.

As a result, bringing in an out-and-out striker is limited because the risk is that such a player will be denied playing time. What is needed is someone who has the potential to deputize for Haaland if required but also play in the same team.

That was the role Julian Alvarez played for two seasons before moving to Atletico Madrid in the summer. Marmus can do the same. “In my opinion, Omar is very flexible and I think he can play in all attacking positions,” said Wimmer.

“He has a great desire to score goals and is very determined. He is very good on one, very intelligent and makes the right decisions. Very flexible and quick and technically excellent. He looks mature and confident. He does.”

Wimmer describes Marmus as “a perfect attacking midfielder or hanging striker, playing behind the goal”, but is concerned that he has been working with him every day for two and a half years. “A lot happens to the players at that point.”

It is especially true in the case of Marmush. His evolving goalscoring streak is partly due to Frankfurt using him more centrally than before. Watching from afar, Wimmer saw other developments in the game and took it to another level.

“For me, he fundamentally improved his defensive work and made him work better as a team with the ball,” he explained. “Thanks to his flexibility, he has become a player who brings great aggression and strength.”

His progress has been so impressive that Wimmer sees the midseason as bitter-sweet. Frankfurt are flying high in the Bundesliga. Marmusch is only one goal behind Kane on the goals charts. No one has more help. The story doesn’t seem complete.

“I believe that Eintracht will achieve a lot this season. I am very happy with the way he has followed and I will continue to do so. That is why in Frankfurt or in the Bundesliga in general.

Expect the very opinionated Crochet to take a practical view on the matter. Another signing who helped Frankfurt become a superstar could make an extraordinary profit. Now Man City can benefit.
