Uncertainty is growing over the future of Egyptian star Omar Marmoush at English club Manchester City, amid strong indications that his situation could change in the upcoming summer transfer window, with increasing interest from major European clubs led by Spanish giants Barcelona.

This growing attention comes at a time when the player has yet to secure a regular starting spot in the team’s lineup, despite showing flashes of quality in several matches, which has fueled speculation about his future in the coming period.

Manchester City’s assessment and Marmoush’s future

According to media reports, Manchester City’s management has already begun reviewing Marmoush’s situation from all aspects, both technically and in terms of market value, especially given his lack of a consistent starting role under manager Pep Guardiola, despite his positive performances in some appearances.

Reports suggest that the English club may be open to selling the player if a suitable offer arrives, with the potential transfer fee expected to range between €60–65 million, reflecting City’s belief in his market value despite limited playing time.

However, Marmoush himself reportedly still leans toward staying at Manchester City for now, provided he receives more minutes and a real opportunity to prove himself, which could lead to a decisive meeting with the club’s management after the season to determine his final future.

Barcelona interest and competition from English clubs

Meanwhile, Barcelona stands out as one of the main clubs interested in signing the Egyptian forward, as the Catalan side looks to strengthen its attack ahead of the post-Robert Lewandowski era, with the Polish striker approaching the end of his time at the club.

The complexity and high cost of other major attacking targets have pushed Barcelona to reassess its options, making Marmoush a practical solution that combines technical quality with financial feasibility.

Interest is not limited to Barcelona, as English clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are also closely monitoring the player’s situation, preparing to enter the race should Manchester City officially open the door for his departure.

Between the player’s desire to stay and Europe’s growing interest in him, Omar Marmoush’s future remains wide open, in what is shaping up to be one of the hottest transfer stories of the upcoming summer window.
