Oscar Bobb’s future at Manchester City is suddenly up in the air, with the young winger now considering a possible move away in January amid growing competition for places. City’s evolving transfer plans appear set to have a direct impact on Bobb’s short-term prospects at the Etihad.
Softfootball earlier reported that Manchester City have won a tough race to sign Antoine Semenyo, beating off competition from arch-rivals Manchester United and Chelsea. With the Ghanaian star expected to arrive, City are likely to reshuffle their attacking options, and Bobb could be the one to make way in order to create space in the squad.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, the top journalist provided the latest on the situation, saying:
Understand Oscar Bobb could leave Manchester City in January. If Semenyo deal is completed, Bobb will seriously consider his exit. Several clubs already made approaches for Bobb, including Borussia Dortmund in the recent weeks.
Despite the uncertainty, Bobb remains highly regarded within the club. Pep Guardiola has recently heaped praise on the youngster, famously calling him “a machine” as he continues to impress coaches and teammates with his work rate, intelligence and technical quality in training and limited game time.
As January approaches, Bobb now faces a crucial decision: stay and continue fighting for minutes in one of the most competitive squads in Europe, or seek regular football elsewhere to accelerate his development. With interest already building, the coming weeks could prove decisive for the talented City prospect.
