Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb is increasingly likely to leave the Etihad Stadium if the club complete the signing of Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo, according to a respected transfer journalist. Fabrizio Romano.
As City accelerate their plans to strengthen their attacking options, Bobb carefully assesses his future amid growing competition for minutes.
At 22, Bobb finds himself at a pivotal stage in his career. Highly appreciated within the City team, the Norwegian international has nevertheless struggled to find regular starts under the management of Pep Guardiola.
Although Guardiola likes Bobb, the depth of City’s attacking unit has limited his opportunities to make a lasting impact in the Premier League.
Oscar Bobb struggled to play at Man City
The youngster made just nine appearances in the Premier League this season for the Manchester giants.
Semenyo’s potential arrivala powerful and direct attacker capable of operating on the front line, would further intensify competition in large areas.
City already have an abundance of attacking talent, and sources suggest Bobb would actively push for an exit if his path to consistent first-team football becomes even more crowded.
For a player wanting to accelerate his development and establish himself at senior international level, regular minutes are now a priority.
Interest in Bobb is already growing across Europe. Borussia Dortmund have emerged as one of the most serious suitors, seeing him as a natural fit for their model of developing young attacking talents.
Dortmund’s experience in nurturing creative wingers and the memory of Bobb’s strong performances in youth competitions makes it an attractive destination.
City winger interested in Premier League
Closer to home, Crystal Palace have also expressed interest. Palace view Bobb as a player who could flourish with greater responsibility in the Premier League, particularly in a system which encourages freedom in the final third.
A move to Selhurst Park would allow Bobb to remain in England while taking on a bigger role than he currently enjoys at City.
Man City are willing to facilitate a move that benefits the player, especially if it includes a permanent transfer with clauses such as buyout options or sale percentages.
Bobb has plenty of options and won’t be short of offers if he decides to move on.
Much now depends on City’s progress with Semenyo and how Guardiola reshapes his attacking rotation.
