Report Bobb Roma eyes Fulham winger as low‑cost option
Report Bobb Roma eyes Fulham winger as low‑cost option, targeting the Norwegian Oscar Bobb who joined the London club for €31.2 million from Manchester City six months ago. The Giallorossi see the left‑footed attacker as a budget‑friendly solution to reinforce their flanks.
The Italian side is confronting a widening gap on the wings after several departures this summer, prompting a search for fresh options. Roma’s need for width has become acute as the Giallorossi aim to restore balance on both flanks.
The club’s recent attempts to secure high‑profile wide players have stalled. Efforts to sign Mason Greenwood, Crysencio Summerville and Alejandro Garnacho failed as Roma could not meet the required terms.
Bobb’s lower fee compared with those targets makes him an attractive alternative for Roma. At €31.2 million his price is modest relative to the sums demanded for the other players.
Antonio Nusa of Norway, priced very high by RB Leipzig, sits beyond Roma’s current budget. Consequently, the Giallorossi view Bobb as a cheaper replacement for the Leipzig‑priced youngster.
Bobb can operate on the right, on the left, or in a deeper trequartista role, and he is left‑footed. This versatility aligns with Roma’s desire for a multi‑positional attacker.
He progressed through the Manchester City academy from 2019 before being sold to Fulham in January. The transfer included a €31.2 million fee plus a 20 percent cut of any future fee.
During his 16 appearances for Fulham, Bobb failed to score or record an assist. The lack of direct contributions has left his value in question.
Retesport notes that Bobb’s agency maintains strong links with Roma, meaning intensive negotiations should not be an issue. The existing relationship could accelerate the deal’s finalisation.
The contrast between Roma’s unfulfilled pursuit of marquee wingers and the pragmatic appeal of a cost‑effective, versatile option underscores a shift toward realistic squad building, with the agency link hinting that a move could be sealed soon. If the negotiations progress, Bobb may provide the immediate reinforcement the Italian side seeks.
