Nottingham Forest are in talks with Morgan Gibbs-White over a new contract.
The Athletic reported on July 10 that the 25-year-old was set to undergo a medical with Tottenham Hotspur.
However, The Athletic later reported that Forest were considering reporting Spurs due to what they felt was an illegal approach to sign Gibbs-White. Forest sources, speaking anonymously as they weren’t authorised to do so publicly, also had concerns over how Tottenham became aware of confidential details within his contract, which includes a £60m release clause.
He has since flown out to Portugal to join the Forest training camp after being allowed extra time at home because of a private family matter and featured in the team’s 0-0 pre-season draw with Ligue 1 side Monaco on July 19.
Gibbs-White, who joined Forest from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2022, has two years left on his Forest contract.
As reported by The Athletic, Gibbs-White was high on the recruitment lists of several leading clubs. The England international was strongly considered by Manchester City heading into this summers transfer window before they opted to sign Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders instead.
He was a standout performer for Forest in 2024-25, registering seven goals and 10 assists as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side secured a seventh-place finish in the Premier League.
Gibbs-White has made 118 appearances for the club, scoring 18 goals and providing 28 assists.
He made his senior international debut with England in September under interim manager Lee Carsley and has been capped four times by the team.
