Sources: Barcelona lead race to sign Manchester City star as they consider €60-65m sale

That player is Omar Marmoush, who has shown flashes of quality without quite managing to hold down a regular place in Pep Guardiola’s side during his time at the Etihad Stadium.

Sources with ties to the agents industry have now informed me that “City’s management are now reassessing Marmoush’s role in the squad and market value in the event of a potential sale this summer.”

Barcelona are looking for options to replace Robert Lewandowski this summer, with the veteran Poland international coming towards the end of his contract and expected to officially confirm his departure soon.

Julian Alvarez has long been linked as one leading candidate to replace Lewandowski, though he’ll be too expensive, leading the Catalan giants to seriously consider Marmoush.

There have not yet been any contacts, but Barca are expected to step up their interest soon as it’s become clearer that the Egypt international is likely to become available.

, though I can’t currently confirm if they would still be interested in him this summer.
