Man City are opening official talks to sign the “gorgeous” £67million striker this month

Manchester City they have now officially opened negotiations to sign the “miracle” striker this month, according to a recent report.

Man City are starting to turn the corner

Man City continued their almost incomprehensibly poor run of form after Rodri was ruled out with an ACL injury, but there are signs they have started to turn things around after winning their last two Premier League spin games.

Erling Haaland has also started to return to form, scoring twice in a comfortable 4-1 win against West Ham United last time out, but City’s current league status suggests the Norwegian needs support in attack.

The Sky Blues approved the departure of Julian Alvarez back in the summer, with the Argentine joining La Liga side Atletico Madrid, and have yet to bring in a suitable replacement for the forward.

Now, however, it appears as if Pep Guardiola has identified a striker who could make up for what his side have lost in terms of attacking contribution since Alvarez left the Etihad Stadium. According to a report by Football Insider, Man City have now completed negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoushwith the aim of concluding a deal in the January transitional period.

Guardiola is looking to strengthen his midfield and attack this month and City are now actively working on a deal to sign Marmoush, although Frankfurt have no intention of letting him go and reports of City are already negotiating a deal for Marmoush were far from the goal.

The report makes it clear Premier League the champions will have to pay a hefty fee to seal the deal this winter, with reports elsewhere suggesting a £67m bid could be needed to tempt the German side into selling.

Man City need new attacking options

Although Haaland has begun to rediscover his form in recent weeks, City’s poor form over the past few months has highlighted the need to bring in new attacking options, who can be relied upon when the Norway international is not at his best.

Marmoush could fit into the equation, having scored 18 goals in all competitions for Frankfurt this season, including 13 in the league, showing his versatility by appearing at centre-forward, left wing and in attacking midfield.

Since first breaking into the Bundesliga for Wolfsburg in the 2019-20 season, “wonderful” The 25-year-old is showing clear signs of improvement, and this season it is by far his most prolific to date.

Having already eclipsed last season’s Bundesliga goal tally this season, it is clear that the forward is now entering his prime, making him an attractive proposition for City.

The only problem is the price tag, as while Marmoush has been prolific in front of goal over the past two seasons, a price tag of £67m still seems too high, as he has yet to prove himself in the Champions League.
