Manchester City Star Boy And Norway international Oscar Bobb has left Manchester City this morning to join this shocking Bundesliga Club for a Shocking Fee of £50million
Pep Guardiola kept his cards close to his chest when questioned about the potential January signing of Antoine Semenyo for Manchester City.
The City boss was similarly guarded regarding Oscar Bobb’s future, with the young player reportedly on the radar of Borussia Dortmund and several other clubs.
Bournemouth and City are said to be closing in on a deal for Semenyo, who carries a £65 million release clause that can reportedly be activated during a narrow window between January 1 and January 10.
Yet the transfer may not be quite as imminent as some reports suggest, judging by Andoni Iraola’s comments following Bournemouth’s thrilling 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening.
After playing a pivotal role in the entertaining stalemate, Semenyo appeared to wave farewell to the traveling Cherries supporters, sparking speculation about his departure.
“This won’t be his last game with us,” Iraola insisted. “I can’t say with absolute certainty, but I fully expect him to play.
“He needs time to recover—we’ve just navigated two grueling matches within three days. Now we’re gearing up for Arsenal at home, another tough test against the league leaders. He’s definitely going to be vital for us in that match.”
Speaking ahead of Thursday’s trip to face Sunderland, Guardiola offered no clarity on either Semenyo or Bobb, who has managed just five Premier League starts this season despite his promise.
“What will be, will be,” he said cryptically.
“I don’t have any information to share. From my perspective, the winter transfer window is firmly closed at this moment.”
His carefully chosen words left plenty of room for interpretation, maintaining the suspense around City’s potential transfer activity in the coming weeks.
