There is the possibility that when the host of Manchester City Chelsea on Saturday, a record firm can debut in striker Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian international has arrived from Eintracht Frankfurt as the last brilliant export from the side of the Bundesliga. In the midst of a season in which he has scored 20 goals and helped 14 more in 26 appearances in all competitions, he is expected to contribute rapidly to the city as evidenced by the $ 75 million that came out, well for the room. More expensive transfer in the history of the city.
Looking at the players around them at the 10 main transfer rates of the city, there is a mixture of good company, including Jack Grealish, Josko Gvardiol, Kevin de Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Rodri, Riyad Mahrez, Joao Cancelo, Aymeric Laporte and Raheem Sterling. When City identifies a high -price objective, its global exploration department rarely fails, but there is also a precaution that comes with Frankfurt selling strikers.

Over the years, they have become an advance factory with names such as Sebastian Haller, Luka Jovic, Andre Silva and Randal Kolo-Muani starting from large rates, but a common theme has been that all these strikers fought in the season After the season. Leaving the Bundesliga. Marmoush will also have the additional problem of being a January transfer, reaching the middle of the season when it is more difficult to integrate and establish a new team. Once, most transfers are not supported by world -class players such as Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden, but even when Frankfurt transfers have been found in optimal situations, they have still fought.
An example of this is Jovic. He broke out when a young striker scored 27 goals and helped seven more in all competitions during the 2018-19 season that moved to Real Madrid. Since that movement, it has not registered more than 15 goal contributions in a season for any team, including a loan to Frankfurt before moving to Fiorentina and now Milan. Kolo Muani is already moving from Paris Saint-Germain to Juventus after less than two seasons in the French capital, but has experienced similar struggles after making the leap.
Haller is one of Frankfurt’s most successful exports, but even his first movement after leaving the Bundesliga club was a fight. In West Ham United he scored a total of 14 goals in two seasons and almost equaled that in the middle season with Ajax before moving to Borussia Dortmund. Silva moved inside the Bundesliga to RB Leipzig and experienced an extreme fall that went from 28 goals in his last season for Frankfurt to only 11 for Leipzig and has not broken the goals of the two -digit league in a season since then.
While City can’t worry about this story when they try to save their season, you can’t ignore. Marmoush has been a player who can make things happen outside the dribble and are not afraid to shoot from anywhere, which can fit well in the attack of the city that has been crying with a replacement of Julian Alvarez from his departure to the Atlético de Madrid. This season can be too early to judge the measure, but with the attached rate comes the pressure for the Egyptian. Only time will say if it goes more in the direction of Haller or becomes the last Frankfurt striker to fight when the lights become brighter.
