Omar Marmoush’s Club Career Stats

Born in the Egyptian capital Cairo, Omar Marmoush’s first taste of senior football came with his country club Wadi Degla before joining German club Wolfsburg’s reserves side in 2017. He had to wait three years before breaking into Wolfsburg’s first team in 2020. However, due to the lack of playing time and the failure to nail down a regular spot, Marmoush found himself embarking on loan spells at FC St. Pauli and Vfb Stuttgart in the following seasons.

After the expiry of his contract at Wolfsburg, Frankfurt secured Marmoush’s services on a free transfer in 2023, which turned out to be the turning point in his career. The Egyptian hit the ground running in his debut season, netting 17 goals and 6 assists in all competitions while becoming an integral part of Die Adler. Alongside some talented guns like Fares Chaibi, Ansgar Knauff and Hugo Larsson, Marmoush helped Franfut secure the Europa League qualification. His exploits attracted interest from some of the top English earlier in the summer this year but he decided to continue his progress with the German giants.

This season, Marmoush has embarked on a dream run, firing on all cylinders. In just 16 games in all competitions, the former Wolfsburg star has clocked up an astonishing tally of 14 goals and 10 assists, while being Bundesliga’s join-top scorer (11 goals) with Harry Kane. He has also exhibited his big-match ability with goals against Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart, as well as his strikes against Besiktas and Slavia Prague in the Europa League. One of the memorable performances came against Bayern in the 3-3 draw, where he scored a stunning double, including the last-minute equaliser. Besides, Marmoush has showcased his knack for scoring free-kick goals in the last few games.

Omar Marmoush’s Style of Play

Unlike a traditional penalty-box striker/poacher, Marmoush excels at various aspects, from clinical finishing, and dribbling to playmaking. Being flexible to play in a one-striker and two-striker system, Marmoush’s knack for progressive and killer passes often causes problems for the defence. For his light physical frame, the Egyptian is adept at holding up play and winning duels. His dribbling numbers are also among the best in the striker category. Be it close-range finishing, running in behind the defence and scoring from outside the box, Marmoush has all the tools in his repertoire. He is also becoming one of the finest free-kick takers in the game, adding another string to his bow.

Omar Marmoush’s contract situation

Marmoush’s meteoric rise has put some of the top European clubs on high alert, while Frankfurt are looking to keep hold of him. His contract runs until 2027 and the German outfit wants to extend his contract by another year with a pay rise, but he is said to be holding out. With no release clause in his contract, Frankfurt has higher odds of losing Marmosh should he remain firm on his stance. Liverpool is the name most associated with him in the rumour mill, though there aren’t any concrete steps taken by the English club as of yet. Man City’s name has also cropped up of late, but if Marmoush’s excellent form continues, the list of suitors will increase.
