There are strong rumours that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will leave the club this summer and some also claim that he will not wait that long. – The one who is one of the world’s best managers has always said that when it starts to slip and he doesn’t feel he has more to give, he will leave and let go to others.
Should Pep leave, it will not matter to Oscar Bobb. – Another Norwegian superstar, on the other hand, may be tempted to an exit sooner without his mentor.

Oscar Bobb has received a clear message from national team manager Ståle Solbakken: to secure a place in the World Cup squad, he must play regularly at a high level. Although he barely got to play at Old Trafford on Saturday, Manchester City have one of the world’s strongest attacking squads – centred around compatriot Erling Braut Haaland.
But the solution for Bobb could come from an unexpected source: Tottenham. Even in crisis, they are clearly in need of reinforcements in attack, as the defeat against city rivals West Ham and the daunting table position underlined.
Tottenham ready with massive offer
The London club are now preparing a bold move: an offer of around 50 million euros (equivalent to almost 600 million kroner) to sign the young talent from Manchester City. Bobb is looking for new challenges after dropping out of the starting line-up at the reigning champions.
This is far from an impulse purchase. Tottenham want to get ahead of other clubs and secure a future star before his value explodes. The investment shows a clear confidence that Bobb can flourish in their sporting project.

Manchester City’s door is ajar
Bobb’s situation has worsened in recent weeks. With the signing of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, the competition for places in City’s attack has become even tougher. The environment around the club acknowledges that the Norwegian needs regular playing time to develop further – something that will be difficult to get in the superb squad.
For Tottenham, this is the perfect opening to start negotiations.
Unique talent with great potential
The 22-year-old Bobb stands out with his technical talent, intelligent movement between the lines and the ability to create dangerous combinations in tight spaces. A different type of attacking player.
The statistics this season – 15 games and one assist – must be seen in the light of limited playing time. An ongoing thigh injury is not considered a long-term obstacle to a transfer.
Thought of as Maddison’s ideal partner
Tottenham’s plans extend far into the future. The club envisions Bobb in a key role alongside James Maddison as he returns from the cruciate ligament injury. The goal is to build a creative, young attacking block that can complement the experienced players. In such a system, Bobb would have the creative freedom he needs to flourish.
The coaching staff especially appreciates his flexibility – he can be used in several offensive positions.
50 million euros is a vote of confidence
This amount is no small change. Tottenham are not only paying for the current Bobb, but investing in his potential. They are convinced that with confidence and regular playing time, he can develop into a Premier League differentiator. His age also fits perfectly into the club’s long-term strategy.
City consider – Tottenham are pushing
Although Manchester City are in no hurry to sell, an offer of this magnitude is serious to consider. They value the talent, but also know the realities of the market.
The decision will depend on several factors, including Bobb’s injury progression and City’s own transfer plans.
One thing is clear: Tottenham have a clear strategy and are willing to invest heavily to make Oscar Bobb a cornerstone of the club’s future. The transfer window is still open, and the message from London is clear: Bobb is worth a commitment of 600 million kroner.
