Oscar Bobb appears poised to leave Manchester City as his playing time diminishes following the recent signing of Antoine Semenyo. During the last 18 months, Bobb has encountered challenges, particularly after a leg injury in 2024 that limited him to just four appearances in the past season.
Recent Player Developments
Now 22 years old, Bobb’s situation has not improved significantly. Although he made a full recovery from his injury, his participation in the current season is still impacted by further injury concerns. He has featured 19 times during the 2025-26 campaign, which raises questions about his future with the club.
Potential Transfer Options
- Crystal Palace has expressed interest in acquiring Bobb during the January transfer window.
- Borussia Dortmund is also looking to sign the Norwegian international.
- Tottenham Hotspur has been identified as another potential destination for Bobb.
Sources indicate that Manchester City might consider accepting a permanent offer for Bobb this month. However, his recent hamstring injury has made a winter transfer less certain. A move away is crucial for Bobb to secure more playing time as he prepares to represent Norway in the upcoming World Cup.
Seasonal Performance
So far this season, Bobb has only started five matches in the Premier League. The arrival of Semenyo has pushed him further down the selection list in Pep Guardiola’s plans, intensifying the need for him to find a club where he can play regularly.
Future Outlook
The situation of another City player, Savinho, appears stable as he is expected to remain at the club amid the uncertainty surrounding Bobb. Savinho suffered a quadricep injury that will keep him sidelined for two months, complicating any potential moves for him.
As Manchester City aims to challenge Arsenal for the Premier League title, both Bobb and Savinho’s situations are closely monitored. Bobb’s need for regular playtime is essential for his development and upcoming national team commitments.
