Newcastle United's squad is undergoing a major overhaul this summer, with Anthony Gordon joining FC Barcelona and Sandro Tonali signing for Tottenham Hotspur.
Bruno Guimaraes could be the next player out the exit door, with Arsenal in the hunt to sign the Brazilian, who has been valued at £75m by his current employers.
There is confidence that a deal for SC Freiburg midfielder Johan Manzambi will be completed after the World Cup though, and the Swiss maestro could be brought in as a replacement for Guimaraes.
Following Tonali's depature, the Magpies brought in Sean Steur from Ajax, but he is just 18-years-old, so it could be a savvy move to bring in a more experienced midfielder.
Winger Bazoumana Toure also arrived after Anthony Gordon's departure, but Eddie Howe's side remain keen to strengthen his options in attack.
Newcastle enter the race to sign Man City star
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Newcastle have now entered the race to sign Omar Marmoush in a stunning move, and talks have been held regarding a deal for the Man City forward.
The Egyptian has fallen down the pecking order since first arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt in a £60m deal, which means a move could be on the cards, should new manager Enzo Maresca be unwilling to offer him more game time.

Newcastle could do with bringing in another forward this summer, considering Yoana Wissa scored just one Premier League goal during his debut campaign at St. James' Park. Nick Woltemade went on a 17-game goal drought too, so a move for Marmoush makes perfect sense. |
|
The aforementioned report states Newcastle will have plenty of money to play with following Tonali's departure to Spurs for £100m. It is unclear what sort of fee City would demand for Marmoush, but they would seemingly be looking to recoup as much of the £60m as possible. |
|
Guardiola praised the Egypt star for the initial impact he made at City, saying: "When he arrived last season, he was unbelievable; without him it would not be possible to achieve qualification for the Champions League or FA Cup final." The striker has chipped in with 16 goals and six assists in 61 matches for the Blues." |
|
Woltemade and Wissa failed to stake a claim as Alexander Isak's successor last season, whereas Marmoush has remained a fairly regular source of goals and assists for City, despite struggling for game time. As such, the 27-year-old could be Newcastle's starting striker. |
Omar Marmoush's record against Newcastle
Interestingly, the Cairo-born forward has always managed to turn up against the Magpies, getting on the scoresheet on seven occasions in 16 matches.
The former Frankfurt man was also prolific during his time in Germany, picking up 37 goals and 20 assists in 67 matches for the Bundesliga side, which gives an insight into how he could perform at Newcastle, if given consistent game time.
The 55-cap Egypt international could be a versatile option for Howe too, as he is capable of playing on both wings. That said, Pep believes he is best suited to playing in the middle, saying in January: "He’s a special player; he’s not old, not young, but margin to improve. He has a sense of goal, his dynamic and energy, his runs are really good.
"I see him more as a striker, not as a proper winger, but he’s a guy for transition actions. I’m so happy for him, he arrived clean after AFCON. So pleased for him!”
