Man City discover Nottingham Forest’s eye-watering asking price for transfer target Morgan Gibbs-White
Nottingham Forest have slapped a £100million price tag on Manchester City target Morgan Gibbs-White, talkSPORT understands. Gibbs-White has emerged as a potential summer option for City after Kevin De Bruyne announced he will leave at the end of the season. Gibbs-White is on the radar of City this summerGetty He could become the midfield successor to De BruyneGetty The Belgian has won six Premier League titles and the Champions League with City, so will leave a gaping hole in their midfield. Gibbs-White could become the chosen replacement after another excellent campaign with Forest. However, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side value the England international in the same bracket as City spent on Jack Grealish. City bought Grealish from Aston Villa for £100m in 2021, which at the time was the record transfer fee for a British player. This was broken in 2023 when Declan Rice left West Ham for Arsenal in a £105m move. Gibbs-White joined Forest after their promotion back to the Premier League in 2022 in a £25m plus add-ons switch from Wolves. The 25-year-old has made 110 appearances in all competition since, scoring 16 goals and assisting a further 27. Ex-interim England boss Lee Carsley handed the midfielder his first ever senior international call-up in September as a reward for his impressive form. Gibbs-White made his first two Three Lions appearances in Nations League wins against Ireland and Greece. He is yet to win a major trophy in his career but this could change in the coming weeks as Forest prepare for the FA Cup semi-finals. Forest have £100million as their asking price for Gibbs-WhiteGetty It’s the same fee that City spent on GrealishGetty They face City at Wembley on April 27 during a season run-in where a surprise top-five Premier League finish looks set to be achieved. Forest are currently third on 57 points, four ahead of Chelsea and Newcastle in the remaining Champions League qualification spots. Five qualifiers from the Premier League will play in Europe’s elite club competition next season after Arsenal beat Real Madrid 3-0 on Tuesday. Should Forest finish in the top five, the two-time European Cup winners will play Champions League football for the first time since 1980/81 season. They host Everton on Saturday in a bid to close the gap on second-placed Arsenal to just two points.
