The 25-year-old Egyptian striker has completed a move to the Etihad Stadium on a four-and-a-half-year deal, meaning he will remain at the Club until the summer of 2029.
Omar has maintained that impressive impact so far across the 2024/25 campaign. Prior to joining City Marmoush had accrued 20 goals from just 26 appearances for Frankfurt alongside 14 assists.
A fluent English speaker, Marmoush said he was hugely excited at the prospect of linking up with Pep Guardiola’s reigning Premier League champions.
“This is a day I will never forget,” Marmoush said.
“To sign for Manchester City – one of the best teams in the world – is an amazing feeling. I am delighted, my family are so proud, and we are all very happy to be here in Manchester.
“With Pep, his technical staff and the world-class facilities here, players have everything they need to improve. That was really enticing for me when I had the chance to come here.
“And I cannot deny I also want to win trophies. City have been the most successful club in England for many, many years, so I know I am joining a winning environment and winning culture. I want to learn from the staff and my teammates, and I want to become a valued member of this winning team.
“I really am looking forward to getting going, meeting the other players and showing the Manchester City fans what I can do.”
Director of Football Txiki Begiristain expressed his own delight at Marmoush’s arrival at the Etihad.
“Omar is an accomplished and exciting forward, and I’m delighted he’s joining us,” he said.
“He’s had an outstanding season, and every time we have watched him, he has influenced matches.
“He has all the attributes a top-class attacker requires. He has outstanding pace and awareness, and he is exceptional in front of goal. He can also play a number of different positions, which is a really valuable asset.
“I also have no doubt that working with Pep and the technical staff here at City will see him further develop his superb attacking talent.”
