SHOCKING: Newcastle about to HIJACK £250,000-a-week SUPERSTAR in ruthless transfer raid that leaves Tottenham COMPLETELY DESTROYED!

Newcastle United have reportedly joined Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona in the race to sign Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush during this summer’s transfer window.

The Magpies are facing a significant rebuilding job after a turbulent summer that has seen several influential figures leave the club.

Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes have all departed, while Eddie Howe has also moved on, leaving newly appointed head coach Matthias Jaissle with the difficult task of reshaping the squad just weeks before the new campaign gets underway.

Newcastle have already strengthened their attacking options by bringing in Bazoumana Toure from Hoffenheim.

However, the club remain keen to add further quality and depth in the final third as they look to improve on their position next season. Marmoush has now reportedly emerged as one of their leading targets.

Newcastle Consider Marmoush Move

Marmoush, who is reportedly earning around £250,000 per week at the Etihad Stadium, arrived at Manchester City in January 2024 for a deal worth approximately €75 million (£59m).

Despite showing flashes of his quality, the Egyptian international has struggled to secure a consistent starting role with Erling Haaland ahead of him in the pecking order.

The 27-year-old is believed to be looking for more regular first-team football, although he would prefer to remain in the Premier League.

According to reports from Caught Offside, Newcastle could now offer him an opportunity to achieve that ambition.

Manchester City are reportedly willing to consider selling Marmoush for around €65m (£55.7m).

Newcastle are in a strong financial position to meet that valuation after generating approximately £245m through player sales during the current transfer window.

That substantial income could put the Magpies in a favourable position in negotiations, although they face serious competition.

Tottenham are also believed to be interested, while Barcelona have reportedly registered an interest in the forward.

Guardiola Praises ‘Special’ Marmoush

Marmoush made a major impression at Eintracht Frankfurt before moving to Manchester City, scoring 20 goals in 26 appearances during the first half of the season.

His performances convinced Pep Guardiola that he possessed the quality required to make an impact at the Etihad.

Although the forward has not become a guaranteed starter under Guardiola, the City boss has previously spoken highly of his abilities.

Guardiola described Marmoush as a “special” player and praised his energy, movement and ability to contribute during transition situations.

The Spaniard also suggested that Marmoush could be more effective as a striker than as a conventional winger.

With the Egyptian seeking greater playing time, Newcastle’s interest could develop into a serious transfer opportunity before the window closes.
