Aston Villa move for Omar Marmoush could hold key to Manchester City's next deal

Aston Villa could have the perfect opportunity to sign Omar Marmoush from Manchester City.

The Egypt international has been linked with a Villa Park move for a while after a difficult spell under Pep Guardiola.

After being a true star in his first half campaign in the Premier League, things didn't follow suit more recently.

His time at the Etihad Stadium has been filled with ups and downs as his game time took a knock at different points of the season.

Marmoush could now be on the move amid interest from the Villans, something which Man City may need to make another move happen this summer.

Iliman Ndiaye could replace Omar Marmoush at Manchester City

Although the claret and blue outfit are limited in the transfer market, the same can't be said elsewhere.

The world of PSR and SCR seems to limit Unai Emery and Co. while other sides continue to cherry pick star names from elsewhere.

Man City are one of those who seem to just get stronger after every transfer window.

They signed both Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo in January and could take to the Premier League market once again.

Alan Nixon reported on Sunday that the Citizens are interested in signing Iliman Ndiaye from Everton.

He is seen as a potential squad signing due to his versatility, with the Toffees set to demand a sizable fee for his signature.

A move for the Senegal international could hinge on the sale of Marmoush after a lack of minutes in sky blue.

That could open the door to Villa to sign the attacker, especially if the Etihad outfit get desperate this summer.

Aston Villa could frustrate Man City to land cut-price Marmoush deal

Ndiaye has emerged as a target for City recently after a positive two seasons on Merseyside.

That would make total sense for their squad as an alternative option for someone like Rayan Cherki.

As frustrating it would be to see them get stronger, it is an ideal chance for Villa to sign a player they have had eyes on for a while.

With the way that the deal could come about, the Villans can't bow to City and accept their demands for Marmoush straight away.

Holding out on a move to seal the cheapest possible deal would be wise and could end with a bargain fee for a player as good as the Egyptian.

He would almost certainly make a massive impact in B6 and could prove to be the best quality signing Emery could make this summer.
