Manchester City are seeking to recruit Omar Marmusch.
The British Telegraph reported on the 7th (Korea time) that "Man City is seeking to recruit Marmusch, a versatile striker and Einracht Frankfurt, to the January transfer market. Manchester City, which has recorded miserable performances over the past two months, will need a transfer fee of 50 million pounds (about 90.6 billion won) to catch up with Liverpool, the league's leader, by recruiting Marmusch."
Defending is not the only problem for Manchester City this season. The team's offense is also serious. The focus was on Erling Holan, who had ups and downs for a while, but the reality was poor second-tier players. Phil Foden, who was the English Premier League's player of the year last season, has scored only two goals in the league.
The same goes for other second-line players. Bernardou Silva, Jeremy Doku, and Kevin De Bruyne also scored only two goals. Savinho has one goal, and Jack Grealish has yet to score. Currently, center back Yosuko Gvardiol is ranked second in the league.
As a result, Manchester City wants to strengthen its position as a left winger. The target was Marmusch, who became the best player in the German Bundesliga this season. Marmusch, who was born in 1999, stood out in Frankfurt last season and exploded this season. 메이저놀이터
He has 13 goals and eight assists in 15 league matches, and is competing with Harry Kane to become an MVP of the Bundesliga. Few strikers in Europe are as powerful as Marmusch. Given that he is displaying performance in Frankfurt, not at a big club, the evaluation results will be even higher.
Marmusch can be used in various positions including left winger, striker, and second striker. His speed is very fast and his scoring ability has improved. Recently, he is also displaying his ability as a set-piece kicker. He can reduce Holan's scoring burden.
The Telegraph explained, "Manchester City believe Marmusch's speed and ability to play in various attacking positions enables him to play successfully in the EPL. The club is trying to strengthen several positions, which have been exacerbated by injuries to key players. Marmusch is a player who can play across various positions in the attacking team."
Manchester City is not the only club aiming for Marmusch. Liverpool and Arsenal are also believed to be interested, but Manchester City is known to be the most active team. Frankfurt wants to hold on to Marmusch, but they say they can let him go if they get a good offer.
The British Daily Mail also dealt with the rumor of Manchester City's transfer to Marmusch. The media said, "Unofficial talks are continuing and we expect an agreement to be reached as early as the next few days.
