San Antonio Spurs have agreed a loan deal to sign Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush with an obligation to make the move permanent for £60 million next summer. The 27-year-old Egypt international joins Spurs after limited playing time at the Etihad Stadium.
What happened in the Marmoush transfer?
BBC Sport reported Wednesday that Marmoush will move to Tottenham Hotspur after struggling for regular minutes at Manchester City since his £59 million January 2025 arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt. He often played second fiddle to Erling Haaland and failed to establish himself as a regular starter. Marmoush appeared as a second-half substitute in City’s 3-0 Community Shield loss to Arsenal and was unused in their Premier League opener against Bournemouth.
Why does this matter for San Antonio Spurs?
Although primarily a centre-forward, Marmoush offers versatility having played as a second striker and from the left wing at Eintracht Frankfurt and Manchester City. His ability to drop deep, change positions and attack spaces could help San Antonio Spurs amid injury concerns for Dominic Solanke and Richarlison’s contract situation. Spurs have already spent over £312 million this summer including the Savio signing from Man City as they reshape their squad.
What comes next for Marmoush and the Spurs?
Marmoush scored 16 goals in 62 appearances for City including eight in 36 games during the 2025-26 season. His Premier League involvement dropped to just eight starts and around 700 minutes with three goals and three assists. The loan move gives him a chance to revive his momentum and establish himself in north London. Last result: San Antonio Spurs 90-94 New York Knicks (2026-06-14). Recent form (last 5): 1W-0D-4L (LLLLW, most recent first); lost the last 4.
