Bobb, who joined City from Valerenga in 2019, showcased exceptional talent at the academy level, drawing interest from several European clubs this summer, including Atalanta, Lazio, and Union Berlin.
Despite this, City manager Pep Guardiola prevented his departure and elevated Bobb to the senior squad.Since then, the Norwegian international has made seven appearances for the first team and earned his national team debut, positioning him for a new contract as a reward for his progress.
Sources reveal to 90min that Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen have shown interest in Bobb, but City remains unperturbed, aiming to finalize a contract extension in the coming weeks.
Bobb is content at City, enjoying his connection with international teammate Erling Haaland, and is eager to continue his development under the guidance of Guardiola.
In a November interview with club media, Bobb expressed his admiration for Guardiola’s perfectionism, highlighting the constant pursuit of improvement and a new, simplified approach to the game.
Guardiola has publicly pledged “a lot of minutes” to Bobb, who welcomes the competition for playing time among football’s seasoned stars.
Bobb sees this competition as excellent motivation, stating that it’s precisely where he wants to be and that it significantly drives his determination.
