One of England’s most talented midfielders in recent years — Morgan Gibbs-White — may soon join one of the world’s top clubs, Manchester City. This was reported by Football Insider.
According to the source, the 25-year-old player is ready to link his future with Pep Guardiola’s team. He highly values the chance to compete for major titles, play in the Champions League, and showcase his skills on a global stage with City.
However, an official agreement between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest has not yet been reached. The reason is that Nottingham's management is not planning to sell one of the team’s leaders. The coaching staff and fans want him to stay.
Gibbs-White has been playing for Nottingham Forest since 2022 and has become a fan favorite during this time. In the 2024/25 season, he appeared in 38 matches, scoring 7 goals and providing 10 assists.
His current contract with the club runs until the end of June 2027. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at 50 million euros. This amount is not a major obstacle for City, but convincing Forest to sell won’t be easy.
Gibbs-White is a product of Wolverhampton’s academy and has played for various youth national teams of England. His technical ability, creative thinking, and smart passes make him a good fit for City’s playing style.
Negotiations are still ongoing. If Guardiola gets his wish, Manchester City will gain another talented and versatile player. At the same time, this transfer would be a significant loss for Nottingham Forest.
Fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation or denial in the coming days. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
