Fulham have moved decisively in the market, opening talks to sign Oscar Bobb on a permanent deal from Manchester City. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, a proposal worth around £35m is on the table and currently being negotiated with City.

There is competition. Borussia Dortmund have remained keen since December and are expected to decide soon whether to formalise their interest. That looming decision adds urgency to Fulham’s approach, but also underlines how highly Bobb is rated across Europe.

For Fulham, this is an assertive signal of intent. Moving early, setting a clear valuation and engaging City directly suggests a club confident in its trajectory and recruitment strategy.

Putting £35m on the table for a Manchester City player is not something Fulham fans would have imagined even a few seasons ago.

Bobb represents ambition and flair. Supporters crave players who can lift the mood at Craven Cottage, players you turn up early to watch warm up. The thought of beating Borussia Dortmund to a signing like this adds an extra thrill. It feels like Fulham are no longer shopping in the margins but stepping into genuine European level conversations.

There is also trust in the environment. Fans believe Fulham can offer something City cannot right now, regular minutes, responsibility and a team built to maximise attacking talent. The idea of Bobb becoming a focal point rather than a rotation option is hugely appealing.

Of course there is risk. £35m is serious money, and supporters know transfers are never guarantees. But this feels like a calculated leap rather than a reckless one. If Fulham pull this off, it would send a message to the league that progress is not theoretical anymore, it is happening.

For an excited fanbase, this is the sort of news that fuels belief well beyond one signing.
