Renowned Racer Omar Marmush Pilots Supercar: Uncover Its Staggering Price Tag (Video)
Manchester City's Egyptian international Omar Marmoush showed up to training in a new McLaren 720S supercar worth around £220,000. The move adds another luxury vehicle to his growing collection, which already includes an Aston Martin DBX.
Marmoush made the squad for City's match against Everton but didn't get any playing time. He's still working his way back from an injury he picked up while playing for Egypt against Burkina Faso in World Cup qualifying.
The McLaren 720S is serious business - it's one of the British manufacturer's most popular supercars, known for its 710 horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine. For a player who joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this season, the purchase shows he's settling into life at one of the Premier League's wealthiest clubs.
Car collections have become something of a status symbol among top footballers. But Marmoush's timing is interesting - he's investing in luxury items while still fighting for regular playing time under Pep Guardiola. The Egyptian forward has been gradually building his role in the squad since his January move.
His injury setback during international duty was a frustrating interruption to his progress at City. Egypt's World Cup qualifying campaign continues to demand his attention, but club form will be crucial for securing his long-term future in Manchester.
