Omar Marmoush Club Career Stats

Born in the Egyptian capital Cairo, Omar Marmoush career has been nothing short of a fairytale. His first taste of senior football came with his country club Wadi Degla before joining German club Wolfsburg’s reserves side in 2017. He had to wait three years before breaking into Wolfsburg’s first team in 2020. However, due to the lack of playing time and the failure to nail down a regular spot, Marmoush found himself embarking on loan spells at FC St. Pauli and VfB Stuttgart in the following seasons.

After the expiry of his contract at Wolfsburg, Frankfurt secured Marmoush’s services on a free transfer in 2023, which turned out to be the turning point in his career. The Egyptian hit the ground running in his debut season, netting 17 goals and 6 assists in all competitions while becoming an integral part of Die Adler. Alongside some talented guns like Fares Chaibi, Ansgar Knauff, and Hugo Larsson, Marmoush helped Franfut secure the Europa League qualification. His exploits attracted interest from some of the top English clubs earlier in the summer, but he decided to continue his progress with the German giants.

During the 2024/25 season, Marmoush has embarked on a dream run, firing on all cylinders. In just 25 games in all competitions, the former Wolfsburg star has clocked up an astonishing tally of 20 goals and 14 assists, while being Bundesliga’s join-top scorer (11 goals) with Harry Kane. He has also exhibited his big-match ability with goals against Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart, as well as his strikes against Besiktas and Slavia Prague in the Europa League. One of the memorable performances came against Bayern in the 3-3 draw, where he scored a stunning double, including the last-minute equaliser. Besides, Marmoush has showcased his knack for scoring free-kick goals in the last few games.

Omar Marmoush to Man City

Marmoush’s meteoric rise had put some of the top European clubs on high alert, while Frankfurt was looking to keep hold of him. His contract was until 2027, and the German outfit wanted to extend his contract by another year with a pay rise, but he wanted to move out. With no release clause in his contract, Frankfurt had higher odds of losing Marmosh.

Liverpool was the name most associated with him in the rumour mill, though there weren't any concrete steps taken by the English club. While, Man City’s name then cropped up of late and eventually signed Marmoush for over £60 million fee. He made his debut for the Sky Blues in the Premier League game against Chelsea when Man City beat Chelsea 3-1 at home.

Omar Marmoush’s Style of Play

Unlike a traditional penalty-box striker/poacher, Marmoush excels at various aspects, from clinical finishing, and dribbling to playmaking. Being flexible to play in a one-striker and two-striker system, Marmoush’s knack for progressive and killer passes often causes problems for the defence. For his light physical frame, the Egyptian is adept at holding up play and winning duels. His dribbling numbers are also among the best in the striker category. Be it close-range finishing, running in behind the defence and scoring from outside the box, Marmoush has all the tools in his repertoire. He is also becoming one of the finest free-kick takers in the game, adding another string to his bow.
