Omar Marmoush Nears Tottenham Move, Medical Awaited

Tottenham are closing in on a deal for Omar Marmoush from Manchester City, a move that would end the Egyptian forward's short spell at the Etihad, which began in January 2025 following his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Deal details

According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, a verbal agreement has been reached on an initial loan with a buy clause that would become mandatory under certain performance conditions, for a fee estimated at £50 million. The move is not yet official: the Egyptian forward still needs to undergo a medical at the London club's training ground before the deal is finalized.

The interest comes as part of head coach Roberto De Zerbi's push to strengthen Tottenham's attacking options this summer.

Why Marmoush is leaving Manchester City

Marmoush (27) made 36 appearances across all competitions for Manchester City last season, scoring 8 goals and providing 3 assists. Despite a promising start after his January 2025 arrival for around £59 million, the Egyptian international has increasingly struggled for a regular starting spot amid growing competition for his position, prompting him to seek a new challenge with more playing time.

Key takeaways

• The transfer is not yet official: Marmoush still needs to complete his medical.
• The deal would take the form of a loan with a mandatory £50 million buy clause.
• Marmoush is seeking more regular playing time after struggling for minutes at Manchester City.
