Nottingham Forest Considers Legal Action Amid £60m Morgan Gibbs-White Tottenham Dispute

Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is at the center of a stalled transfer saga involving Tottenham Hotspur, who reportedly triggered his £60 million release clause. Despite meeting the clause, Forest are furious over what they consider an illegal approach by Spurs, who allegedly contacted Gibbs-White directly without the club's permission, prompting Forest to consider legal action. Gibbs-White missed Forest's pre-season training camp in Portugal due to personal reasons related to his pregnant girlfriend's high-risk pregnancy, not the transfer situation, and is expected to rejoin the squad soon. Tottenham manager Thomas Frank declined to comment on the matter, while Forest are reportedly keen to sell Gibbs-White to a club other than Spurs if he leaves this summer. The club is also preparing for the possibility of his departure by targeting other players like Manchester City's James McAtee. Gibbs-White has continued to train with Forest and played in pre-season friendlies amid the ongoing transfer uncertainty.
