It seems that Omar Marmoush will be born a great man with Manchester City, as he awaits matches that are less than fiery in his first month at the Etihad Stadium.
On Thursday, City officially announced the signing of Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, in a deal that cost the English club up to 80 million euros.
The Egyptian international will wear the number 7 that James Milner, Raheem Sterling and Joao Cancelo wore in the last decade, but a very difficult task awaits the player.
Where does Marmoush rank among the most expensive African and Arab deals?
Date of Marmoush’s first match with Manchester City
Marmoush’s first match with Manchester City will be next Saturday against Chelsea, scheduled at the Etihad Stadium in the English Premier League.
There is no doubt that the match is very important for Pep Guardiola’s squad, as Chelsea is fourth with 40 points, only two points behind City, so the victory is very important for Marmoush’s teammates in it.
Marmoush’s matches with Manchester City until the international break
After a difficult match against Chelsea, City will play a decisive match against Club Brugge in the Champions League, but Marmoush cannot participate in it, as he is only entitled to play from the round of 16 play-off.
After that, Marmoush’s second match with City will be against Arsenal in an anticipated summit that will be played at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, February 2 in the Premier League.
The easiest match will finally be against Leyton Town in the FA Cup on February 8.
If City succeeds in qualifying for the round of 16 play-off, the Egyptian star’s first European match in the blue shirt will be on February 11 or 12.
Marmoush’s schedule will become more difficult with the match against Newcastle, then the second leg of the play-off, and then hosting Liverpool in the Premier League on February 23.
City’s matches will remain difficult after that, as they play against Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Brighton respectively, after which they enter the international break.
