Manchester City is planning to offer Oscar Bobb a significant increase in salary as part of a new long-term contract agreement with the young forward. Bobb, who is 20 years old, has had a breakthrough season with Manchester City under Pep Guardiola’s guidance and is now in line for a contract extension.
Having made his senior international debut in October and scoring his first Premier League goal in a comeback win against Newcastle United, Bobb has shown great potential on the field. He has already made 16 appearances for Manchester City this season, including scoring his first UEFA Champions League goal against Red Star Belgrade.
Despite interest from other clubs in Europe during the summer transfer window, Manchester City decided to keep hold of Bobb and have been impressed with his development. This decision also led to the sale of Cole Palmer to Chelsea.
Bobb has become an integral part of Manchester City’s squad, earning a first Premier League start and gaining recognition for his performances. Advanced talks are underway for a new contract that will include a substantial pay rise, increased responsibilities, and solidify his position in Guardiola’s long-term plans for the club.
Guardiola has praised Bobb’s skills, citing him as one of the best players in the Under 23s team. The young forward is highly regarded at Manchester City and is seen as a key player for the future.
In addition to Bobb, Manchester City is also preparing for contract talks with Bobb’s international teammate Erling Haaland to fend off interest from Real Madrid. Haaland is facing potential interest from La Liga, and discussions are underway to secure his future with the club.
