Khaberni - Media reports confirm that Atlético Madrid is very interested in boosting its attack line during the upcoming summer transfer market, and atop its goals is the signing of Egyptian player Omar Marmoush, the current Manchester City striker in the Premier League.
The Spanish newspaper fichajes reported that Atlético Madrid is preparing for the possibility of losing prominent players such as Julián Álvarez or Alexander Sørloth, which increases the need to sign a striker capable of filling the void and maintaining continuity in offensive performance.
It added, "The current market value of Marmoush is estimated at about 65 million euros, which reflects his status among the top-tier stars in the world of football."
The interest of the team's coach, Diego Simeone, in Marmoush’s level is a decisive factor in this deal, as the Argentine coach sees the player’s movement and flexibility on the field as giving the team a more dynamic and unpredictable attacking style by opponents. Additionally, the player has extensive international experience with the Egypt national team, where he scored 10 goals in 46 matches, proving his ability to take on responsibility and lead major projects.
The newspaper pointed out that Atlético Madrid faces strong competition for signing the Manchester City player, especially from FC Barcelona, which is also monitoring the player’s situation amid restructuring its attack line. However, the Spanish team's project offers a primary participation opportunity and a leadership role for the player, which might be the biggest incentive to convince him to move to the Spanish capital.
Marmoush is 27 years old and is characterized by football maturity and the ability to play in more than one attacking position, whether as a straight forward or as part of a duo upfront, which makes him the ideal choice for the Spanish team’s plans in the coming period.
