As a top-tier powerhouse, Manchester City has experienced a noticeable decline in performance in the current Premier League season. In order to improve their results for the second half of the season, Coach Pep Guardiola has quickly moved to strengthen the team's roster. After completing the reinforcement of their squad during the winter transfer window, the first player they officially announced was Marwan Mohsen.
This Egyptian forward, after signing with Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer this season, has scored an impressive 20 goals and provided 13 assists in just 26 matches. Such efficiency is nothing short of terrifying, which is why many top clubs were keen to sign Marwan Mohsen. Manchester City initially planned to sign him for a price of 50 million euros. However, it seems that Frankfurt was determined to hold out for a higher fee, knowing that Manchester City desperately needed reinforcements.
In the end, Pep Guardiola had no choice but to agree to a transfer fee of 80 million euros for Marwan Mohsen. This transfer not only brought Marwan Mohsen to Manchester City but also resulted in a significant increase in his personal salary. At Frankfurt, he earned only 2 million yuan, but upon joining Manchester City, he received a salary package worth 20 million euros. This represents a tenfold increase in his wages, truly demonstrating the financial might of the club.
Marwan Mohsen's abilities are undoubtedly formidable, having contributed to a total of 33 goals this season. He is hailed as the next Mohamed Salah in Egypt, and upon joining Manchester City, he is expected to form a new attacking trident that will challenge for a Champions League spot and the title this season.
