Omar Marmoush gives thumbs up to Man City transfer but Frankfurt refusing to budge on price stag for star man
OMAR MARMOUSH has given the thumbs up to a move to Manchester City.
But Eintracht Frankfurt will play hard ball over their Egyptian forward.
TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: STAY UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST MOVES FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW
The 25-year-old has agreed in principle to join the English champions, according to reports in Germany.
However his club – who are flying high at home and in the Europa League – want around £67million if they are to part with their prized asset mid season.
And that means the two clubs are far apart in their valuations, with City viewing him more in the £50m bracket.
The Etihad giants always knew it would be a challenge to get Frankfurt to agree to sell when they are going so well.
But he is the man Pep Guardiola wants to breathe new life into a season which nosedived in the final two months of 2024 – so they are determined to get their man.
Marmoush would provide support for striker Erling Haaland.
But he can play anywhere along the front-line and also operates as a Number 10.
He would effectively fill the gap left by World Cup winner Julian Alvarez.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
He left the Etihad to join Atletico Madrid for £81m back in August.
Meanwhile, City are in talks with Lens over Uzbeki defender Abdukodir Khusanov too.
They are also close to sealing a deal for Brazilian teen Vitor Reis – who currently plays for Palmeiras.
If they can do all three deals it would see them splash out well over £100m this month.
And they are still on the look-out for a defensive midfielder to cover for the injured Rodri.
The Traitors fans ‘uncover major secret’ as they’re convinced two contestants are RELATED in shock twist
FANS of The Traitors have uncovered a major secret as they’re convinced that two contestants are related in a shock twist.
In 2024’s series, Ross left players stunned as he revealed that fellow contestant Diane was his mum.
And fans think the 2025 series has yet another mum-and-son twist as they predict that two contestants are related.
Last night, Freddie, 20, had to be comforted by his fellow contestants as he broke down in tears following a tense exchange.
Francesca, 44, was quick to comfort Freddie, with their sweet moment coming after Freddie had gushed over hanging out with the older women of the group due to being an only child of a single mother.
Fans are now convinced that the show is hiding a huge secret, with some viewers certain that Freddie and Francesca are related.
Some reckon that Francesca could be Freddie’s mum, while others think she might be his aunt.
“The next secret could be these two being related, I’m thinking Francesca is Freddie’s Mum or Auntie. They both burst into tears when she voted him, he mentioned his single mum, she has a son ‘about his age’,” penned one person on X who was seemingly convinced.
Another person on the platform also thought the same when they said: “Freddie is definitely Francesca’s son… right?”
A third then sparked a massive debate when they said: “Locking in my prediction that Francesca is Freddie’s mum.”
Replying to the prediction, one person said: “AUNTIE or something like they HAVEEE to be related.”
‘SHE’S LIKE A MUM TO ME’
“When he said ‘she’s like a mum to me in here’ paired with her mention of being a single mum in the previous episode and Freddie mentioning he’s a single child to a single parent this episode hmmmm,” added a second.
A third then penned: “I thought this too but I think she said she has ‘boys’ (so more than one) and he said he’s an only child?
“Defo think she’s his auntie or something tho because why are they both crying and hugging so much?!?! “
While a fourth shut down rumours when they penned: “Nah they’ve done the mum/son thing once.”
BAFFLING MOVE
This comes after this week’s second installment of the hit show left fans questioning one player.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
Viewers were confused by one of the contestants’ strange moves in the game on Thursday night.
Anna Duke, 28, is a swimming teacher from Wicklow, and during tonight’s episode, she was offered the chance to become a Traitor.
But remaining faithful to being a Faithful, Anna decided to turn down the Traitor’s offer to recruit her as a Traitor – which is a rare move among contestants.
She then decided not to tell any of her fellow players that she had been offered the tempting switch up to become a Traitor, with viewers confused as to why she kept it a secret.
“Very confused, I don’t feel like there’s any reason to not tell anyone they tried to recruit her,” penned one person on X.
Another then echoed: “Why? Why would you not just announce to the table – ‘they tried to recruit me last night, I turned it down, and that’s why no-one was murdered’? It’s the most obvious thing imaginable if they think they’re going to kill you anyway.”
Armando Broja given oxygen and carried off on stretcher in final moments of Everton clash vs Peterborough
EVERTON star Armando Broja was stretchered off late on in his side’s FA Cup clash with Peterborough after suffering a worrying-looking injury.
The striker, 23, appeared to awkwardly twist his leg after being tackled by Posh defender Emmanuel Fernandez.
Broja had replaced goalscorer Beto in the 65th minute of the contest, with the Toffees leading 1-0.
In the 86th minute he rounded Peterborough goalkeeper Nicholas Bilokapic, only for the covering Fernandez to tackle him.
The luckless forward seemed to land awkwardly and immediately appeared to be in huge discomfort.
He subsequently received lengthy medical treatment on the pitch, banging the turf in frustration.
Broja, who was given oxygen as he was treated, was eventually stretchered off the Goodison Park pitch.
The Albania international had been making just his sixth appearance for Everton following his summer loan move from Chelsea.
Broja had been ruled out until December with an Achilles injury suffered in pre-season, which had scuppered a transfer to Ipswich.
He was previously sidelined between December 2022 and September 2023 after suffering a devastating cruciate ligament injury.
In January 2024 Broja moved on loan to Fulham in a bid for more regular first team football.
But he was limited to just eight sub appearances for the Cottagers, not starting a single match during his loan stint there.
Broja has played 38 times for parent club Chelsea, scoring three goals.
He is yet to get off the mark for Everton.
After Broja was stretchered off, Everton added a second late on.
In the 97th minute, referee Thomas Bramall pointed to the spot after Jarrad Branthwaite was brought down.
Iliman Ndiaye calmly slotted home the resulting penalty to seal a 2-0 victory for the hosts, on the day that boss Sean Dyche was sacked.
Get a job behind the bar and help your community assets survive this Dry January
DRY January may seem an odd time to consider a career in the pub trade – but a new trend is seeing a rise in women taking the reins.
The number of boozers in England and Wales has fallen below 39,000 for the first time, with 34 shutting each month on average, data company Altus Group says.
But there is also a growing recognition of the vital role pubs play in our culture.
Research from property portal Zoopla found a quarter of house buyers want a home near a good pub.
And boozers are increasingly touted by mental health experts as a “third place” — somewhere that’s not work or home — to connect with friends.
Many of the nation’s most successful pubs are now run by women.
While around ten per cent of new venues are launched by females, the number who are publicans and managers has risen by 133 per cent, from 9,000 to 21,000, over the last four years.
Around one in three publicans in the UK is a woman — but pub chains are urging more to join the trade.
Leading the charge is Admiral Taverns, with more than half the firm’s pubs run by females.
Former mortgage adviser Annie Kane decided it was time to get her own house in order, and switched careers to pull pints as a pub landlady.
Now Annie, 56, from Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, runs two boozers on the same street in Glasgow for Admiral Taverns.
She said: “I feel that, as women, we are good at gaining respect from customers and bringing people together.
“We can be softer and, in some cases, better at listening to customers.
‘Running a local pub’s perfect, customers become friends’
“We’re also great at running the pub ourselves, of course.
“To women thinking about coming into the industry, I would say that different pubs are right for different people.
“So think about what pub would work for you.
“A local, community-based pub is perfect because your customers become your friends, you get invited to their milestone moments and they become like your extended family.”
Admiral’s head of recruitment, Ceri Radford, said: “Pubs are vital social hubs, one of the most important community facilities we have left.”
The chain has more than 1,400 boozers across the country, including 205 run under its Proper Pubs division, which supports premises run by community members.
You do not have to be an expert to run a Proper Pubs establishment.
The firm takes care of lots of the details, while giving a percentage of the weekly net turnover to the manager to pay themselves and staff.
It is a simpler way for new starters to get established.
The Fuller’s pub chain hosts regular networking groups for female general managers to collaborate and learn from each other, while the Stonegate pub group has set up a female mentoring programme.
Also backing the move for more female publicans is trade magazine the Morning Advertiser.
Last year, it ran an #EmbraceEquity campaign day highlighting the role female publicans play in their communities.
Ceri added: ““We’re always on the lookout for new licensees who want to take on local pubs and create an inclusive, social hub for their community.
“We look forward to hearing from people who are interested.”

How to size up a career
DO you need to work for a big corporation to climb the career ladder?
Or should you opt for one of the many smaller firms that make up over 96 per cent of all UK businesses?
Charlie O’Brien, of Breathe HR, shares her expert advice on what six key things to consider . . .
1. YOUR EXPERIENCE OR SKILLS GAPS: Careers are long, so there is plenty of time to work for all sizes of firms.
Think what you want to learn.
If you are yet to be exposed to multiple areas of a business, have diverse responsibilities and a direct impact on a firm’s growth, an SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) might be a good fit.
If you want to gain the recognition and network of a prestigious brand, consider a big company.
2. LEARNING STYLE: A big firm will likely have formal training programmes and mentor schemes.
This could appeal if you learn best in a structured environment.
SMEs can offer hands-on learning – great if you prefer to be thrown in at the deep end.
3: PREFERRED WORK ENVIRONMENT: A big company requires structure, hierarchy and clear processes.
It can provide stability and support from managers.
But it can be bureaucratic.
A smaller firm might have a flatter structure, so employees have greater access to leadership opportunities and decisions are made faster.
But employees can feel less supported because managers juggle multiple responsibilities.
4: APPETITE FOR RISK: Traditionally, a bigger company will offer greater financial stability, job security and good benefits.
The smaller and newer the company, the higher the risk.
Early-stage venture-backed start-ups can be very risky, but they can offer big rewards if successful.
5: IDEAL WORK-LIFE BALANCE: In a bigger company, responsibility for projects often tends to be shared across a larger team.
In smaller firms, employees may take on more responsibility.
Consider your life stage and how much you can give to work.
6: CHALLENGE YOURSELF: You define your success, not your employer.
No matter where you work, make the most of the opportunities available.
No organisation will hand you success on a plate.

Put heat on boss
WITH snow blanketing much of the country, employees are urged to check that their workplaces are warm enough.
Health and safety regulations state that temperatures should not fall below 16C, or 13C for physically demanding tasks, training provider Skillcast advises.
If your office or factory is colder than this, employers must provide extra heating.
Vivek Dodd at Skillcast said: “Employers must conduct risk assessments tailored to weather-related hazards.”
He added that outdoor workers face health risks after long periods exposed to ice, snow and freezing temperatures, and that office staff should work remotely if travel is dangerous.

Minorities hit hard
ETHNIC minority workers are almost twice as likely to have a pay rise or promotion axed due to the current economic troubles.
A study from People Like Us found 23 per cent of white workers suffered this, compared to 40 per cent of other groups.
The report also suggests non-white employees work an average of 6.95 extra unpaid hours each week, compared to 6.27 hours for white employees.
Sheeraz Gulsher, who is co-founder of campaign group People Like Us, said: “It’s clear that ethnic minority workers are consistently on the back foot when it comes to pay and representation. This effect has been felt more harshly due to the current economic climate.
“We’re asking the Government to introduce mandatory ethnicity pay-gap reporting without delay as it will provide businesses with evidence to help them level the playing field.”
