Bayern in the Chase for Marmoush: A European Transfer Twist This Winter
26 January 2026
Where will the Egyptian star end up?
The winter window has Bayern Munich entering the race of clubs keen on signing Omar Marmoush, the forward currently at Manchester City, as talk intensifies across Europe.
Marmoush has not been getting enough minutes under Pep Guardiola due to a crowded attacking lineup at City.
He joined City in January from Eintracht Frankfurt but is still trying to prove himself at the Etihad.
For FourFourTwo, City’s reported winter spend of over 80 million pounds on Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi could shine a light on the club’s finances and its stance on Financial Fair Play, with the future of one January 2025 deal in question.
Turkish media have recently linked Marmoush with a move to Fenerbahçe as we enter the final week of the transfer window, with speculation growing around the deal.
According to reports, the Turkish club is ready to offer around 30 million euros to sign the 26-year-old, but faces competition from Bayern Munich who are keen to snatch the Egyptian talent.
Bayern Munich knows Marmoush well, after he shone in the first half of last season with Frankfurt, scoring 15 goals before his move to City.
The paper notes Marmoush himself would prefer to remain in the Premier League with interest from Aston Villa and Tottenham, and would only consider a loan move.
Yet another party has entered the field, with journalist Suleiman Rodub claiming Galatasaray are keen to sign Marmoush.
Other English outlets suggest Manchester City does not intend to part with Marmoush in this winter window.
Punchline: If this transfer saga were a sniper alley, the only guaranteed outcome is another headline—and probably a meme or two.
Punchline 2: In January, football spends more words than euros; let’s hope the ball follows the plot and not the paperwork.
