City are sixth in the Prem and in danger of missing out on a Champions League place.
Egyptian star Marmoush, 25, would add firepower to the champions’ struggling frontline.

Marmoush – also linked with Arsenal and Liverpool – has 18 goals in 24 games for Frankfurt this season.

Nottingham Forest had two bids for Marmoush — up to £28million — rejected in the summer and he is now valued in the £50m bracket.
