Manchester City are reportedly set to sanction the departure of Oscar Bobb, with Fulham closing in on a permanent deal for the Norwegian international.
Personal Terms Agreed
According to Sky Sports News, negotiations between the two clubs have accelerated behind the scenes. The 22-year-old winger has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the London club and is ready to undergo a medical once a final fee is settled.
The move comes after Pep Guardiola publicly admitted that the youngster’s future lies away from the Etihad. Speaking in a recent press conference, the City boss was candid about the situation: “I think he wants to leave,” Guardiola stated, signaling the end of Bobb’s tenure in Manchester.
A Replacement for Adama Traoré?
The arrival of Bobb at Craven Cottage could be a strategic move for Marco Silva. With Adama Traoré heavily linked with a move to West Ham, Fulham are moving quickly to bolster their attacking options.
Bobb, who is under contract at City until 2029, has struggled for consistent game time under Guardiola. Despite his immense potential shown in the youth ranks and sporadic first-team flashes, he has only started nine matches this season. A move to West London offers the Norwegian the regular Premier League football he needs to fulfill his potential.
