Borussia Dortmund have reviewed their previous interest in Oscar Bobb and have now decided to reignite their pursuit of the Manchester City attacker. The Norwegian is expected to leave the Premier League champions after being informed that his opportunities would be limited following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo. With game time set to be scarce if he remains, Bobb has begun working on securing a move away from the club.
Manchester City are keen for the player to move on, and his situation has attracted interest from several clubs. Bobb understands that regular football is crucial at this stage of his career, and he is prepared to take the next step to ensure consistent minutes. This has opened the door to both domestic and European options as he considers his future.
Fulham move puts pressure on Dortmund
Fulham have emerged as a serious contender for Bobb’s signature and have already tabled a bid to Manchester City. The Premier League side believes he is among the finest talents they could add to their squad and is confident they can provide him with the platform to prove his quality in England. Their approach has placed them firmly in the race and shifted the dynamic surrounding his potential departure.
Before Fulham’s interest became concrete, Bobb had been open to a move to Borussia Dortmund. The German club have followed him closely for a long period and viewed him as a player who could fit well into their system. However, as Fulham stepped up their efforts, Dortmund’s involvement appeared to cool temporarily.
Dortmund renew talks amid City demands
According to Sporten, Borussia Dortmund have now decided to make a fresh approach for Bobb. Their plan is to sign him on an initial loan deal that would include an option to make the move permanent. This structure reflects Dortmund’s cautious approach as they assess his long-term suitability.
Manchester City, however, prefer a permanent departure and may be reluctant to accept another temporary solution. This difference in expectations could complicate negotiations, particularly if Dortmund are unwilling to commit to a firm obligation to buy in the summer. City is keen to resolve the situation decisively and may prioritise offers that guarantee a permanent transfer.
As talks continue, Bobb’s future remains uncertain. With Fulham pushing for a deal and Dortmund back in contention, the coming weeks are likely to be decisive in determining where the Norwegian will continue his career.
