Roma’s €30m chase for Fulham’s Oscar Bobb after Summerville miss

Roma are prepared to meet Fulham’s €30 million asking price for 20‑year‑old Norwegian winger Oscar Bobb, with sporting director Tony D’Amico confirming the move after the club’s recent failure to secure Crysencio Summerville as they look to reinforce Gian Piero Gasperini’s side for the upcoming season.

Roma’s scouting focus has sharpened after the recent failed attempt to sign Crysencio Summerville. The Italian side are actively looking for a winger to reinforce the squad under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Gasperini’s tactical system demands pace and creativity on the flanks, prompting the club to target players with those attributes.

Sporting director Tony D’Amico has placed Oscar Bobb on Roma’s shortlist, confirming the player fits the profile the club desires. The 20‑year‑old Norwegian progressed through the Manchester City youth academy before moving to Fulham last winter for around €30 million. His development at the English club has been closely monitored by the Italian side.

Fulham’s asking price is expected to be close to the amount paid by the Citizens, reflecting the investment made in the player’s acquisition. The fee aligns with market valuations for promising young wingers, according to the report.

Bobb featured for Norway at the recent World Cup, logging 233 minutes without registering a goal or an assist. The international exposure adds to his appeal for a club seeking experience on the wing.

In the current season, Bobb has made 31 appearances for Manchester City and Fulham combined, contributing a single assist. These limited statistical outputs raise questions about his suitability for Gasperini’s system.

If the transfer proceeds, Roma would add a young, internationally‑experienced winger to their ranks, while Fulham could recover a figure close to their original outlay. The move would also signal Roma’s determination to rebuild after the Summerville setback.
