Borussia Dortmund have added their name to a growing list of clubs closely monitoring the situation of Oscar Bobb, according to Sky Sports, as questions continue to surround the Manchester City winger’s short-term future.

Long regarded as one of City’s most exciting young attacking talents, Bobb could find his options opening up in the January transfer window, particularly if developments elsewhere in Pep Guardiola’s squad accelerate.

Should City complete that deal, the competition for wide attacking roles would intensify further, potentially pushing Bobb towards a temporary move in search of regular minutes.

Sources indicate that any departure would most likely be structured as a loan, with Man City keen to retain long-term control of the player and postpone discussions about a permanent exit.

At 21, Bobb is at a crucial stage of his development. He has impressed Guardiola and the City coaching staff with his talent.

However, breaking into a side stacked with elite attacking options has proven difficult.

Injuries have also disrupted his momentum, with the Norwegian only recently returning from a lengthy layoff that stalled his progress during a key period.

Dortmund’s interest is particularly notable. The Bundesliga club have built a strong reputation for developing young attacking players and offering them a clear pathway to first-team football.

Internally, Dortmund see Bobb as a profile that fits their model, creative, fearless in one-v-one situations and capable of operating across multiple attacking positions.

While no formal approach has been made, Dortmund are understood to be gathering information ahead of a potential move.

The interest is not limited to Germany. Several Premier League clubs are also tracking Bobb’s situation, believing a loan spell could allow him to gain valuable top-flight experience while maintaining the intensity of English football.
