After a painful defeat in the Champions League against PSG, Manchester City fans needed exactly that: to forget. And what better way to turn the page than with the announcement of a major signing?

The morning after the disappointing setback at the Parc des Princes, City revealed the arrival of Omar Marmoush, the “Prince of Egypt.” The prolific goal-scorer who made waves last season with Eintracht Frankfurt has confirmed his elite status this year, even improving his already impressive numbers.

But this time, we're not focusing on how many goals he's scored, but how much he has cost City. And the price tag is significant. Marmoush is the third signing of the club in this January window and also the most expensive.

The Skyblue side has spent $73 million plus variables to strengthen their attack. This figure adds to the $35.7 million spent on Abdukodir Khusanov, the first player to join in this winter transfer window, and the $41 million paid for Brazilian Vitor Reis.

Big Money

In total, Manchester City has invested nearly $150 million this January. This spending is aimed at giving the team a fresh push in a season where things have not gone as planned.

In the Premier League, they are in fifth place, 12 points behind the leaders, Liverpool, a gap that could widen to 15 if the Reds win their pending match. In the Champions League, they are out of the playoffs with just one match left to play.

Fans certainly have reasons to forget, but with these $150 million invested, City aims to turn the situation around and give their supporters something good to remember.
