Manchester City are prepared to sanction the permanent sale of winger Oscar Bobb and has entered talks with another Premier League club.
Highly rated at the club, Oscar Bobb saw his development suffer a huge setback when he missed the majority of the 2024-25 campaign through injury.
The 22-year-old academy graduate has made 47 senior appearances for the Citizens across all competitions, but has struggled to make his mark when featuring in the first team this season.
With zero goal and one assist across nine starts and six substitute appearances this season, Bobb might be allowed to take up a new challenge.

Bobb has missed Man City’s last eight matches in all competitions with a hamstring injury and manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that the versatile winger is “not fit” to play in his homeland against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Guardiola also admitted that he has ‘no idea’ whether Bobb will remain at the club beyond the January window, with a host of English teams and clubs abroad said to be keeping tabs on his situation.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has now claim Fulham are now in talks with Man City over a permanent deal to sign Bobb, with the proposal on the table said to be £35m.
Romano adds that Dortmund remain keen to sign Bobb and they will soon decide whether to submit a formal offer for the winger.
Meanwhile, The Athletic’s David Ornstein claims that Man City are ‘expected’ to sell Bobb before the January transfer window closes and that the player’s situation has ‘unravelled quickly’.
Bobb is keen to leave the Citizens in search of regular game time and a fresh challenge, and a permanent exit could be sealed at some stage this week.
The Norway international is under contract at the Etihad Stadium until June 2029, and City would have no problem cashing out on him.
