Lazio are reportedly considering a late transfer move for Manchester City youngster Oscar Bobb.
The final day of the latest summer transfer window has already seen two of City’s youth graduates make moves away from the Etihad Stadium.
After Cole Palmer made his £42.5m move to Chelsea, James McAtee returned to Sheffield United on another season-long loan deal.
Now though, a club from further afield have their eyes on securing a deal for another one of the Manchester club’s young talents.
Lazio eyeing Bobb transfer
In a recent Twitter post, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio said that Bobb is being “evaluated” by Lazio for a possible transfer move.
During his time at City, the 20-year-old has made 114 youth appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 31 goals and supplying 33 assists.
After being involved in City’s pre-season tour of Asia, where his performance in the 5-3 win over Yokohama F. Marinos was described as “unbelievable” by Pep Guardiola, Bobb has now been in the senior matchday squad for three of their five games so far this season.
With that in mind, it seems that the Norwegian could have a role to play in Guardiola’s side at some point this season.
Also, with Bobb’s agent recently pouring cold water on a potential summer exit by saying that City admire the player and have a plan for him in the first team, this could make it difficult for Lazio, or any other interested club, to secure a deal for him.
