Tottenham is picking up Man City’s leftovers – Marmoush has arrives

What Manchester City didn't value, Tottenham see as pure luxury. And they are prepared to pay accordingly.After bringing in Savinho, Tottenham have now confirmed the signing of Omar Marmoush as well. He is another player who failed to live up to the high expectations and the trust placed in him at the Etihad by Pep Guardiola, while Enzo Maresca was more than happy to get rid of him.Spurs have officially brought Marmoush in on a free loan, but they will pay a hefty price at the end of the season because the purchase option is mandatory. The fee is fixed at £50 million, with another £10 million available in bonuses.Omar is a Lilywhite 🇪🇬 pic.twitter.com/Bq8Vxt5f7l— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 27, 2026 Converted into euros, Tottenham are guaranteed to pay €58.3 million, plus at least half of the bonuses (€11.65 million), as they are considered easily achievable. Add to that the fact that Savinho's transfer essentially amounts to £75 million (€87.44 million), with half of his £10 million bonuses also considered easily attainable, and it becomes clear that the London club will pay Manchester City around €155 million over the next year — without even counting the other half of the potential bonuses for the two players, which amounts to more than €10 million. For squad players?!City signed Marmoush a year and a half ago as one of the sensations of the first half of the season from Eintracht Frankfurt, paying €75 million for a player expected to fill the role previously occupied by Julian Alvarez as Erling Haaland's backup. It didn't exactly work out…##EDITORS_CHOICE##Although he made a promising start and scored eight goals in 22 appearances across all competitions by the end of that season, he completely disappeared from the spotlight last campaign. He played in just 21 Premier League matches and failed to complete a single 90 minutes! Guardiola brought him off the bench 13 times and substituted him on eight occasions. In such an environment, the Egyptian managed just three goals and three assists, while the arrival of a new manager made his situation even worse.Marmoush is also expected to operate as a second striker at Tottenham. Alongside Solanke and Richarlison, De Zerbi wanted a different type of forward and hopes he has found exactly that in the Egyptian. It is a profile Tottenham have lacked since the departure of club legend Son.“I spoke a lot with the manager and I can't wait to start. Our passion of the game will be very good together.” 💬Watch Omar's first interview on the official Spurs app!📲 https://t.co/hORY13NiNb pic.twitter.com/3aHH1bFxx9— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 27, 2026 With his arrival, the North London club have now surpassed the €400 million mark spent on new signings this summer when the mandatory purchase of Marmoush is taken into account. This is probably the end of their major summer rebuild. Now, all eyes will be on Roberto De Zerbi to turn the vision the club has paid so dearly for into reality.##NAJAVA_MECA_9915617##
