Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday left forward Omar Marmoush out of their matchday squad for the home clash with Borussia Dortmund due to "transfer talks with another club," believed to be Manchester City.

Change text size:

Marmoush has been heavily linked with a winter move to City after a stellar first half of the season.

The 25-year-old has scored 15 goals in 17 league games, one fewer than leader Harry Kane, and laid on 10 assists.

"Eintracht Frankfurt is currently in talks with another club for the transfer of Omar Marmoush. The player is therefore not part of the team today," the club wrote on social media just hours before the Dortmund clash.

The Egyptian arrived in Frankfurt on a free transfer from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023.

German and international media reported the struggling English champions, who sit 12 points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League, are set to pay up to 80 million euros ($82 million) for Marmoush.
