Transfer rumours intensify: BVB chasing City starlet | OneFootball

After recent discussions about possible departures, Borussia Dortmund is once again turning its attention to the transfer market. The focus is on Manchester City talent Oscar Bobb, who could invigorate BVB’s attack this winter.

Borussia Dortmund is pushing ahead with plans to strengthen the squad in the winter. While recent discussions around BVB have mainly centered on potential departures, the door for a new signing in attack apparently remains open. One name in particular is in the spotlight: Oscar Bobb from Manchester City.

The 22-year-old winger is regarded by the Sky Blues as a highly talented prospect, but under Pep Guardiola he rarely gets beyond the role of a substitute. Although the Norwegian international has made appearances in several competitions this season, he has only played the full 90 minutes in a few matches—sometimes in the League Cup, where City often fields a heavily rotated squad.

According to BILD, Dortmund officials are currently exploring how realistic a transfer would be this winter. The plan is for a loan deal, ideally with a purchase option included.

BVB transfer for Oscar Bobb tied to several conditions

In Manchester, the attacking player is still seen as an important long-term asset, but his short-term situation could worsen. The reason is City’s strong interest in Antonie Semenyo (Bournemouth). If the striker moves in January, competition for Bobb would become even fiercer. His contract with the Cityzens runs until 2029.

Bobb is versatile, able to play on both wings as well as centrally behind the striker. With his technique, speed, and dynamism, he fits perfectly into the profile sought by the Black and Yellows, who want to inject more flair into their sometimes static attack, according to BILD. However, any potential deal is subject to certain conditions.

Firstly, Manchester City must agree to a loan deal, and secondly, BVB needs to free up squad spots. There could be significant movement on the outgoing side this winter: Julien Duranville is reportedly actively seeking a loan move himself, as he is getting little playing time under coach Niko Kovac. Cole Campbell is also considered a clear candidate for a transfer. In addition, Salih Özcan is attracting interest from abroad, although he apparently intends to fulfill his contract in Dortmund, which runs until summer 2026, as things currently stand.
