A Manchester City star is open to a stunning move away from the club after limited opportunities under Pep Guardiola, according to a bombshell report.

Man City shelled out £82.5 million during the winter transfer window to secure the signings of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth and Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.

Both Semenyo and Guehi have featured regularly since their arrivals, with the star forward scoring his side's winner against Leeds United on Saturday.

Man City beat Leeds 1-0 without Erling Haaland, who was ruled out for the trip to Elland Road.

Omar Marmoush replaced Haaland in the starting XI, but he was unable to make the most of his league appearance.

He couldn't get into the first-half and squandered a couple of gilt-edged chances after the break before being replaced by Savinho.

Marmoush's opportunities have been limited under Guardiola, who has primarily deployed the Egyptian as a substitute.

His future has come under scrutiny, with transfer expert Ekrem Konur claiming Marmoush is considering his future.

Omar Marmoush open to stunning summer transfer

Marmoush joined Man City from Eintracht Frankfurt for £59 million in January 2025.

But his spell at the Etihad could be over just 18 months after signing for the Blues.

According to Konur, Marmoush is keen on a move to Barcelona this summer.

Barca are thought to be in the market for new forwards as they eye a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

The 27-year-old could also serve as a replacement for Marcus Rashford if he either decides to return to Manchester United or the Catalan giants don't activate their clause for a permanent deal.

Atletico Madrid are also interested in Marmoush, with their pursuit depending on whether Julian Alvarez leaves the club amid reports linking him with a move away from the Spanish capital.

Marmoush, meanwhile, has scored 12 goals in 50 games for Man City across all competitions.

The forward scored seven league goals in 16 matches last season.

This season, he has just one league goal to his name.
