BVB transfer off for good: Man City ace joins Fulham | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund showed interest in Oscar Bobb, but a transfer did not materialize. Instead, the Manchester City attacker is moving to Fulham FC, where he has signed a long-term contract.

Oscar Bobb is leaving Manchester City and will continue his career in the Premier League. The 22-year-old attacker is joining Fulham FC and has signed a long-term contract in London until 2031. According to consistent media reports, the transfer fee is in the range of around 30 to over 40 million euros.

Borussia Dortmund had also had the Norwegian international on their radar for a while. At the beginning of the year, BVB was even considered a strong contender, and a move did not seem out of the question. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl had made contact and explored the possibility of a transfer—particularly in the form of a loan. However, things did not progress further, the talks fizzled out, and Dortmund did not pursue the matter any further.

Instead, Fulham won the race. After signing the contract, Bobb expressed his confidence in his decision: “I always knew that Fulham is a good club, with good players and a great stadium,” the attacker explained.

BVB misses out: Oscar Bobb moves from ManCity to Fulham

Conversations with officials and players were decisive: “He explained to me how the system works, what the guys are like, and what the club is like. He seemed very nice, so it was basically an easy decision.”

Fulham’s management was also delighted with the transfer. Club owner Tony Khan emphasized: “I am very happy to welcome Oscar Bobb to Fulham! He is an exciting young player who is eager to play for the club.”

Bobb, who was recently sidelined due to injury, is now set to make a fresh start. During his time at Manchester City, he made twelve appearances in all competitions. At Fulham, he will wear the number 14 shirt. Whether he will be part of the squad as early as next weekend is still uncertain—but one thing is clear: a former BVB target has signed a long-term contract in London.
