Manchester City Eyes Morgan Gibbs-White as De Bruyne's Exit Nears
Manchester City is in advanced negotiations to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest as they prepare for life after Kevin De Bruyne. With the Belgian midfielder set to leave the club at the end of the season, City has prioritized Gibbs-White as a potential successor. Talks between the two clubs are expected to intensify in the coming weeks, though convincing Forest to part with their star midfielder could prove challenging.
Gibbs-White has been a standout performer in the Premier League this season, contributing significantly to Forest's unexpected surge toward a potential Champions League spot. With five goals and seven assists, he has become a vital figure under Nuno Espirito Santo. Forest, currently sixth in the table, may be more determined to keep him if they manage to secure European football next season, which would boost their financial and competitive standing.
Despite City's strong interest, Gibbs-White's estimated £100 million price tag could be a stumbling block. Manchester City has the resources to explore alternative options, such as Florian Wirtz, but Gibbs-White’s Premier League experience and current form make him a compelling candidate. Meanwhile, De Bruyne is expected to play his final match for City later this month and may continue his career either in England or possibly with an MLS side like Chicago Fire.
