Frankfurt, Germany – Eintracht Frankfurt fans and players gathered to bid a heartfelt farewell to forward Omar Marmoush following the team’s 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund. The 25-year-old Egyptian star, who is set to join Manchester City in a deal reportedly worth up to €80 million, was celebrated in an emotional ceremony at Deutsche Bank Park.
Marmoush, who did not feature in the match due to his impending transfer, joined his teammates and supporters on the field to mark the occasion. Standing in front of the Frankfurt fan curve, Marmoush was visibly moved, shedding tears as he waved goodbye to the crowd that had cheered him on throughout his time at the club.
The forward enjoyed a standout season, scoring 15 goals and making a significant impact on the team’s performance. His final appearance for Frankfurt saw him contribute a goal and two assists in a commanding 4-1 win over Freiburg, cementing his status as one of the club’s key players.
Frankfurt’s sporting director, Markus Krösche, confirmed the transfer’s high likelihood, describing Marmoush as a player of exceptional commitment and character. Head coach Dino Toppmöller and midfielder Mario Götze also praised the striker’s contributions and professionalism.
Marmoush’s departure leaves a gap in Frankfurt’s attacking lineup, with the club exploring options for a replacement. However, a mid-season transfer to fill the void is considered unlikely.
This farewell marks the end of an era for Frankfurt fans, who will undoubtedly remember Marmoush as a pivotal figure in the team’s recent success.
