Omar Marmoush to Man City

Manchester City are expected to announce the arrival of Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush this week.

Pep Guardiola’s side have reached a total agreement to sign the 25-year-old for an initial €75m, with an additional €5m in add-ons.

Marmoush has agreed personal terms with Man City and he was absent for Frankfurt’s 2-0 over Borussia Dortmund as a result of his imminent move to the Etihad Stadium.

The Egypt international has registered 20 goals and 14 assists in 26 appearances across all competitions so far this season, and he is expected to play a similar role to the one Julian Alvarez perfected at Man City.

Abdukodir Khusanov to Man City

In addition to Marmoush, Man City are also close to confirming the signing of RC Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov.

The reigning Premier League champions have agreed a €40m fee with Lens, and Khusanov is set to sign a four-and-a-half year contract at the Etihad Stadium.

The Uzbekistan international joined Lens from Energetik-BGU for a mere €100,000 in 2023 and he has only made 31 appearances for the club to date.

Vitor Reis to Man City

Furthermore, Man City are set to sign Palmeiras centre-back Vitor Reis for an initial €35m.

The Brazilian wonderkid has reportedly signed his Man City contract, following a successful medical, and official announcement is expected this week.

He is considered to be one of the biggest prospects in South America and Man City have beaten the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid to his signature.

Antony to Real Betis

Manchester United flop Antony is on the verge of joining Real Betis on a six-month loan deal.

The winger hasn’t started a single Premier League game so far this campaign and Man Utd are set to offload him on loan, before looking to sell him permanently this summer.

Antony has reached an agreement with Real Betis and the Spanish side are set to pay less than 50% of his current wages. However, they will reportedly receive a “penalty” if Antony plays less than a certain number of matches before the end of the season.

Kyle Walker to AC Milan

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kyle Walker is expected to leave Man City this month, and a move to AC Milan is set to be formally announced in the next few days.

The 34-year-old is eager to leave England and he has reached an agreement on personal terms with Milan.

The Rossoneri must now agree a deal with Man City, but the move is widely expected to be confirmed shortly.
