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.

Boss Guardiola feels Ederson can help City cope without crocked linchpin Rodri, too.

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

They sit third in the Bundesliga, so they are reluctant to sell now.

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

Serie A leaders Atalanta would want a similar fee for Ederson.

Guardiola feels the Brazilian, 25, would add much-needed midfield steel.
