Man City’s interest in Morgan Gibbs-White: New target could boost Forest hopes

Morgan Gibbs-White Man City transfer 2025 rumours continue to swirl, but Nottingham Forest have been handed a potential boost in their bid to keep their star midfielder. Manchester City, looking for a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, have Gibbs-White on their shortlist. However, a new name has entered the mix: Lyon’s Rayan Cherki.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that City have made contact regarding Cherki’s exit fee, with the Frenchman potentially available for a cut-price £20-25 million. That’s significantly less than what Forest would demand for Gibbs-White, making Cherki a tempting alternative.

While Forest are determined to hold onto their 25-year-old talisman, speculation persists over a possible summer exit, especially with Pep Guardiola’s midfield in flux. Reports have also suggested a swap deal involving Matheus Nunes could be on the table.

For now, Forest fans will hope that City’s focus shifts towards Cherki and that their side can resist any advances for Gibbs-White as the transfer window opens on June 1.

With the window set to open, Forest will face mounting pressure to keep hold of Gibbs-White. City’s pivot to Cherki offers hope, but nothing is guaranteed. Fans can expect an eventful summer.
