Bobb’s Future in Doubt at Etihad

Manchester City starlet Oscar Bobb is reportedly open to a January departure if the club completes the signing of Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo, according to emerging reports on December 25, 2025.

The 21-year-old Norwegian, highly rated at City after breaking through last season, has seen limited minutes this campaign amid competition on the wings.

A potential arrival of Semenyo, known for his pace, directness, and goal threat, would further crowd the attacking options under Pep Guardiola, prompting Bobb to seriously consider his future.

Several clubs have already made enquiries, with Borussia Dortmund among the most proactive in recent weeks. The Bundesliga giants see Bobb as an ideal fit for their high-pressing, youthful squad.

Other interested parties are expected to emerge, with a loan move the most likely outcome to ensure regular playing time ahead of the 2026 World Cup cycle.

Bobb’s versatility across the right wing and attacking midfield, combined with his technical ability and work rate, makes him a sought-after talent.

City would prefer to retain the academy product long-term but recognize the importance of development minutes at this stage of his career.
