Marmoush has been in sensational form this season, registering 15 goals and 10 assists in just 17 Bundesliga appearances. His versatility across the front line has made him one of Europe�s most sought-after players, with Liverpool reportedly monitoring him last year.
City�s director of football, Txiki Begiristain�set to leave the club in the summer�was instrumental in sealing the deal. Reflecting on the acquisition, he praised Marmoush�s quality:
