Manchester City have reportedly agreed personal terms with Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, who contributed 7 goals and 8 assists last season. Though a transfer deal is yet to be finalized, City are expected to offload James McAtee for around £25 million. McAtee, now surplus to requirements, is attracting interest from German clubs.
After the departure of Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer, Manchester City are closing in on their fifth summer signing by agreeing personal terms with Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White. The 24-year-old England international, who recorded seven goals and eight assists in the Premier League last season, has expressed his desire to join Pep Guardiola’s side.
City have already signed Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, and Marcus Bettinelli. Although a transfer fee has not yet been agreed between the two clubs, Nottingham Forest may be forced to sell due to financial constraints, despite their reluctance to offload both Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga in the same window. City are expected to generate funds through the potential £25 million sale of James McAtee, who captained England U21s but was overlooked for senior opportunities.
Former City financial adviser Stefan Borson believes McAtee's exit will be swift due to his manageable wage demands and strong interest from German clubs. The move for Gibbs-White, who has become a top target, signals City’s ongoing midfield rebuild and shows Guardiola’s intent to refresh his attacking options following their recent squad transition.
