Manchester City expected to pursue Morgan Gibbs-White

Manchester City are leading the race to sign Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White as they seek to strengthen their midfield following Kevin De Bruyne’s departure. Gibbs-White has been pivotal in Forest’s impressive season, contributing five goals and nine assists, and is seen as an ideal candidate to inject energy and creativity into City’s midfield. While Forest have made clear they are not eager to sell and are under no financial pressure, City remain undeterred and are likely to make a move in the upcoming transfer window. Though City have also considered targets like Florian Wirtz and Eberechi Eze, Gibbs-White’s style and close relationship with Phil Foden make him a standout option. Liverpool and Manchester United have shown interest as well, but City are regarded as frontrunners. Gibbs-White’s recent England debut further raises his profile ahead of a possible high-profile transfer.
