Spurs Close on Marmoush as City Push Through Major Late‑Window Deals

Reported loan‑to‑buy terms for Omar Marmoush and a string of City ins and outs show clubs using conditional deals to finish business before the September 1 deadline.

Overview

  • Tottenham and Manchester City have a reported verbal agreement for Omar Marmoush to join Spurs on an initial loan with an option that can convert to an obligation, with a medical said to be imminent and a permanent fee of about €58.5m due in 2027.
  • Tottenham have already agreed the signing of Savinho from City on a large fee that could rise toward £85m, which has prompted City to line up replacements including a reported €95–100m deal for Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.
  • Manchester City are also reported to have agreed a fee around €37.5m for Palmeiras winger Allan and to be close to selling Nico González to Newcastle for roughly £47–50m to free space in the squad.
  • Arsenal are stepping up efforts to sign Julián Álvarez but face an asking price near €150m while Gabriel Martinelli is reported to be in advanced talks with Al‑Hilal, moves that would affect the Gunners’ ability to fund a marquee striker.
  • Clubs are relying on loan‑first moves, options that become obligations and add‑ons to bridge inflated valuations and tight registration rules this final week, a pattern that will shape squads, cash flow and player careers before the window closes.
