Omar Marmoush is preparing for decisive showdown talks with Manchester City, with Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United both ready to pounce if the Egyptian forward decides to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer.
Will Marmoush Stay or Go? New Boss Maresca Holds the Key to Forward’s Future
The 27-year-old joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 for a fee worth close to £60 million and initially made an encouraging impression.
However, opportunities became increasingly limited under Pep Guardiola, with Marmoush starting just eight Premier League matches last season and spending much of the campaign among the substitutes.
According to TEAMtalk, both Tottenham and Newcastle have made enquiries about the versatile forward, who can operate as a striker, second striker or winger.
Several Bundesliga clubs are also monitoring the situation, keen to bring Marmoush back to Germany.
Tottenham remain eager to strengthen their attack and are tracking Marmoush’s situation closely, while also retaining an interest in his City teammate Savinho.
Newcastle have funds available following the £100 million sale of Sandro Tonali to Spurs and are looking for attacking reinforcements after Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa failed to make the expected impact last season.
Marmoush and his representatives want clarity from new Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca before making any decision over his future.
Sources indicate that if Maresca signals the Egyptian will have a prominent role, Marmoush is open to staying and fighting for his place.
However, should it become apparent that regular opportunities will again be difficult to come by, his camp are prepared to explore the growing interest from England and abroad.
Marmoush’s ability to cover multiple attacking positions is viewed as a major positive by both Tottenham and Newcastle.
With his future hanging in the balance and Maresca’s decision looming, the two Premier League rivals are poised to strike.
Whether he remains in Manchester to fight for his spot or seeks a fresh start elsewhere, Marmoush’s next move promises to be one of the final talking points of the current transfer window.
