Man City to step up Gibbs-White chase as summer revamp looms

The 25-year-old has impressed consistently since joining Forest in 2022 and is seen by Manchester City as a key piece in their plans to rejuvenate an ageing midfield.

The Premier League giants are expected to face little resistance when it comes to agreeing personal terms with the player, who is believed to be open to the move. However, reaching a deal with Nottingham Forest may prove more complex, with the Midlands club keen to hold on to one of their standout performers.

Gibbs-White has developed into a creative force at Forest, building on the promise he showed during a productive loan spell at Sheffield United. His energy, versatility and vision have made him a favourite at the City Ground and a valuable asset for a side hoping to push further up the Premier League table.

The Sky Blues' interest reflects a broader strategy to refresh a squad that has relied heavily on long-serving figures such as Kevin De Bruyne. While no formal bid has yet been made, talks are expected to accelerate as the window approaches, with Pep Guardiola keen to reshape his midfield ahead of the new season.
