City bid an emotional farewell to manager Pep Guardiola after Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium and subsequently at the open bus parade celebration on Monday.
Executives at the Etihad Stadium are understood to have agreed a three year deal with Enzo Maresca to replace Guardiola, who decided against seeing out the final year of his Manchester City contract to bring the curtain down on an illustrious decade in England this summer.
What life beyond Manchester City has in store for outgoing Pep Guardiola
As Manchester City navigate a summer of huge transition on and off the pitch, the future of Egypt international Omar Marmoush is expected to dominate headlines as the 27-year-old enters his prime off the back of a disappointing second season in the Premier League.
Man City stance on summer Marmoush sale
According to WinWin, Manchester City want Marmoush to remain at the club next season, though the forward is seeking a greater role and regular playing time after being in and out the starting XI in the 2025-26 season.
Furthermore, both parties are expected to hold talks after the end of the season so the Egyptian forward can gauge whether his future lies at the Etihad Stadium.
Since joining City from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59 million in January 2025, Marmoush has appeared 35 times under Guardiola, most of them as a substitute. He has also scored eight goals and provided three assists in sky blue.
Who is interested in signing Marmoush this summer?
While he would certaintly back himself to win a greater role at City next season, several clubs across the globe are actively monitoring Marmoush’s situation in England’s north-west.
Saudi Pro League clubs have shown increased interest in signing Marmoush this summer. However, the player is said to have decided against a move to the Middle East – perhaps understandably as he has his best years ahead of him and would want to compete for the biggest prizes in Europe.
Aston Villa remain interested in Manchester City forward despite failed January approach
Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Aston Villa have also been mentioned as clubs with interest. However, Marmoush is awaiting further clarity over his role at Manchester City before he progresses any talks with interested parties.
Marmoush could await Maresca verdict
Erling Haaland‘s guaranteed presence down the middle has been a major talking point in discussions around Marmoush’s long-term prospects at City.
Maresca is expected to succeed Guardiola as Manchester City manager and the Italian could decide to operate the Egyptian behind Haaland, which could prompt Marmoush to stay put for next season.
However, Maresca hasn’t put pen to paper yet, with just a verbal agreement in place. Nevertheless, the 46-year-old will be an influence on Marmoush’s future following a formal agreement.
