Manchester City have spent more than £120 million in a week, signing striker Omar Marmoush for €70 million (£59 million).
Marmoush, the Bundesliga's second highest scorer this season, completed a medical in Manchester and signed a four-and-a-half-year contract.
The 25-year-old is a late developer, and Eintracht is profiting handsomely after signing him on a free transfer in 2023, with his fee potentially rising by another €5 million in add-ons.
Marmoush has scored 20 goals and provided 13 assists for Eintracht this season, and City believes he possesses the qualities of a top forward.
Marmoush stated, "This is a day I will never forget." Signing with Manchester City, one of the top teams in the world, is an incredible feeling. My family and I are overjoyed to be here in Manchester.
"Pep, his coaching team, and the world-class facilities here provide everything players need to improve. That was really appealing to me when I had the opportunity to come here.
"I cannot deny that I want to win trophies. City has been England's most successful club for many years, so I know I'll be joining a winning environment and culture. I want to learn from the coaches and my colleagues, and I want to become an important part of this winning squad. I'm really excited to get started, meet the other players, and show Manchester City fans what I'm capable of."
Txiki Begiristain, director of football, added: "Omar is an accomplished and dynamic forward, and I'm happy to have him join us. He's had a fantastic season, and every time we've seen him, he's influenced games.
"He has all the attributes a top-class attacker requires: outstanding pace, awareness, and exceptional in front of goal. He can also play in a variety of positions, which is a valuable asset. I am confident that working with Pep and the technical staff here at City will help him further develop his superb attacking talent.
