Omar Marmoush’s future at Manchester City has come under more scrutiny, with new reports indicating that the Egyptian forward open to a move to Barcelona.
According to X, the 27-year-old is open to the prospect of joining the Catalan giants, despite the fact that regular opportunities under Pep Guardiola have been restricted this season.
Marmoush’s status reflects the fierce competition in City’s forward line, with Erling Haaland remaining the indisputable focal point of the assault.
The upcoming transfer window could be vital for Egypt international Julián Álvarez, since Atlético Madrid is also monitoring developments related to his uncertain future.
Marmoush is struggling for playing time at Manchester City.
Since joining the Etihad, Marmoush has failed to gain consistent starts in a system based around Haaland’s prodigious goalscoring.

Guardiola’s tactical scheme is often built around a central striker supported by fluid wide players and advanced midfielders, allowing little room for rotation in the No.9 position.
While Marmoush’s versatility, which allows him to play across the front line, has resulted in infrequent appearances, he has struggled to acquire consistent minutes.
City’s depth in offensive positions, along with their tireless pursuit of domestic and European success, ensures that competition for places remains strong.
Atlético Madrid’s interest demonstrates how highly regarded the attacker is around the world.
According to reports in Spain, Diego Simeone’s team may look for attacking reinforcements if Julián Álvarez leaves.
Marmoush’s work rate and pressing skills would complement Atlético’s fierce, transition-based approach.
The Spanish club’s recruitment approach frequently prioritises players with physical resilience, something Marmoush has exhibited throughout his career, including earlier stints in the Bundesliga.
