Manchester City have asked Eintracht Frankfurt not to play Omar Marmoush in their Bundesliga clash with Borussia Dortmund on Friday night as they close in on a £65million deal for the Egyptian striker.
Frankfurt named Marmoush in their squad for the game in Dortmund after rejecting an initial offer from City in the region of £52m. The Premier League champions have returned with an improved bid closer to the £67m asking price, although the deal will include around £10m in add-ons.
Sources in Germany believe an agreement is now close and that Marmoush has played his last game for Frankfurt. City have decided Marmoush is the man to ease the goalscoring burden on Erling Haaland.
He has fired 15 Bundesliga goals this season - just one behind leading hit-man Harry Kane - and has 20 goals and 13 assists from 26 games across all competitions. Personal terms are seen as a formality, with the only issue now on how the deal will be structured.
City are set to spend more than £170m this month as they look to end a slump that means they are now facing a battle to finish in the top four. City are also closing in on deals for defenders Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis. And they have been quoted £42m by Juventus for right-back Andrea Cambiaso.
Khusanov will arrive from French club Lens in a deal worth £33.5m once a work permit has been finalised for the Uzbekistan international centre-back. Brazilian teenager Reis is on his way to Manchester after catching a flight from Sao Paulo to Lisbon after Palmeiras accepted City's £30m offer.
And Cambiaso, 24, has been identified as a replacement for want-away captain Kyle Walker. Walker is unlikely to play for City again after shocking Guardiola with a request to leave the club just 48 hours before last weekend's game against West Ham.
Guardiola has expressed regret over not completing signings over the summer to get ahead of their issues this season. The Catalan coach refused the possibility of bringing more new players to the Etihad, with Savinho and Ilkay Gundogan being City's only arrivals.
"In the summer the club thought about it and I said 'no, I don't want to make any signings'," said Guardiola this week. "I relied a lot on these guys and thought I can do it again. But after the injuries – wow - maybe we should have done it."

Pep has totally lost it i mean he was leading agaisnt Brentford 2 Goals But failed to make obvious substitutes KDB17 for Lewis,Grealish for Haaland Doku for Savinho we should've kept a clean shit and added more GOALS now the question is with all those additions he makes will he be able to use them if he can play 11 players for 80min sometimes close to 90 without making a substitute...but i hope he will turn things around we will welcome them with open hands

It's not like he will likely play in your next game, why not allow him to say his farewell in the game with Dortmund.
Just to make sure he doesn't get injured, as that'll jeopardize the deal
