Winter opportunity for Dortmund? BVB keen on City starlet | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is once again looking towards Manchester and has an attacking talent in its sights. A change in City's offense could open up an exciting option for BVB in the winter.

Borussia Dortmund is once again turning its attention to England. Specifically, to Manchester City – and there to attacking player Oscar Bobb. The 22-year-old Norwegian is considered one of the most exciting talents in Pep Guardiola’s squad, but is currently only getting irregular playing time. This very situation could play into BVB’s hands.

The background to the speculation is a possible transfer of Antoine Semenyo. The striker from AFC Bournemouth is reportedly on the verge of a move to the Sky Blues. If this deal goes through, the competition in City’s attack is likely to intensify even further. For Bobb, who can play both on the wing and in attacking midfield, the prospects would hardly improve – quite the opposite.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, several clubs have inquired about the situation of the Norwegian international. Borussia Dortmund is said to have made initial contact in recent weeks as well.

Will BVB loan City’s gem Oscar Bobb?

Accordingly, BVB is examining whether an opportunity might arise in the winter. A permanent signing would be difficult to manage given Bobb’s contract until 2029 and his market value of around 25 million euros, which is why a loan deal is considered the most realistic option.

Bobb has made several appearances for Manchester City this season, but has not yet managed to secure a key role. A move to the Bundesliga could offer him exactly what he is currently missing: regular playing time at a high level. Dortmund would be a familiar environment for young, developing attacking players.

In addition to BVB, Crystal Palace is also said to be interested. However, nothing has been decided yet, as Manchester City’s personnel planning – especially the Semenyo transfer – must be awaited first. One thing is clear: if there is movement in City’s attack, Oscar Bobb could become one of the most exciting names of the winter transfer window. And Borussia Dortmund is apparently watching the situation closely.
