Getting adequate game time at Manchester City for every player is not possible. Some players will always be on the bench.
That is why every season, some players are left unhappy with their game time. Now, this January, Manchester City have signed Antoine Semenyo.
The Ghana international has increased the competition in the attacking department of Pep Guardiola’s team. That is why some forward players are unhappy with their situation.
And one of them has caught the eyes of Diego Simeone, and the Argentine is pushing Atletico Madrid to place an offer for the player. And the Spanish club have now made an offer for the forward.
Los Colchoneros are in the market for a striker who can add goals and consistency to their attack. And now, they have identified a possible solution in Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush.
The Egyptian international has found opportunities hard to come by at the Etihad Stadium. Despite arriving with high expectations, his role under Pep Guardiola has remained limited.
Because of that, Atletico believe there may be a window to negotiate a temporary move.
According to Fichajes, Atletico Madrid are considering a loan deal with an option to buy set at €55 million, with a further €15 million in add-ons.
That structure would take the total package close to the fee Manchester City paid to sign Marmoush last year.
Although City invested around €75 million in the forward, he has not managed to secure a regular starting place.
Now, Atletico Madrid are not the only club looking to make a move for the forward. Marmoush is also on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.
But the Egyptian is reportedly prioritising a move in the Premier League. Now, with all parties searching for a solution, Marmoush’s situation could develop quickly before the window closes.
