Manchester City's young winger Oscar Bobb could be on the verge of a major Premier League move this January, with talks reportedly underway for a permanent transfer to Fulham.
Fulham in Advanced Negotiations for City Starlet
According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, discussions are progressing between Manchester City and Fulham over a deal that could see Bobb move to Craven Cottage. The reported fee being negotiated is in the region of £35 million.
The 22-year-old Norwegian international has found first-team opportunities increasingly limited at the Etihad Stadium this season. The summer arrivals of attacking talents Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo have pushed Bobb further down the pecking order under manager Pep Guardiola.
Dortmund Lurk as Potential Suitor
Fulham are not the only club showing a concrete interest in securing Bobb's services during the current transfer window. German giants Borussia Dortmund have also been monitoring the situation closely.
It is understood that Dortmund's hierarchy are weighing up whether to formalise their interest with an official bid for the player. A decision from the Bundesliga side is expected shortly, which could potentially spark a bidding war for the talented wide man.
What a Move Would Mean for Bobb's Career
A permanent departure from the Premier League champions would represent a significant juncture in Oscar Bobb's career. While highly regarded for his technical ability and potential, the intense competition for places at Manchester City has hampered his development.
A switch to Fulham would offer the promise of more consistent Premier League minutes, a crucial factor for a player at his stage. The reported £35m valuation underscores the potential that top clubs still see in him, despite his limited game time this campaign.
All parties involved will be keen to resolve the player's future swiftly, with the January transfer window now entering its decisive final phase.
