Manchester City eyeing Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmouch and Atalanta’s Ederson to help ease the situation

The Premier League champions are likely to be active in the transfer market this month. After winning just one of their 13 games before beating Leicester City last time out.

With the Citizens identifying two of Europe’s most talented players to help solve their problems.

According to คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย Sport, Omar Marmouch has been in fine form in the Bundesliga, while Ederson could fill the void left by Rodri.

The Egyptian has scored 18 goals in 24 games. For Frankfurt this season – only compatriot Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in more than either of them. With the player a versatile player who can play in any position across the front three. Manchester City are not the only English side interested in the player. With Atalanta and Brazil midfielder Ederson also a likely candidate, with the pair being the same age at 25. 

Pep Guardiola has admitted he needs to sign players this month, saying: “In some positions we need help. When we are all together we are still the same team. But with important players out for weeks or months it is very difficult.”

As Kevin De Bruyne said: “Everyone is playing too much, but they have to do it because if you don’t have anyone to help you have to play. They’ve shouldered the burden. Hopefully everyone will come back and we’ll get back to the rhythm as a team.”

City’s chances have been boosted by the return of injured players. As demonstrated by Guardiola’s decision to keep Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku and Ilkay Gundogan on the bench in Leicester’s win. But with the likes of Walker, De Bruyne and Gundogan in the later stages of their careers, it makes sense to try to reduce the average age of the squad. The race to finish the season in Europe looks fiercely competitive, but with the Champions League and FA Cup at the forefront of the equation, it is a matter of personal preference.
