Morgan Gibbs-White is emerging as one of the most sought-after midfielders in the Premier League — and Nottingham Forest have made their valuation crystal clear.
According to reports, Forest have placed a £100 million price tag on the 25-year-old playmaker, who is being closely monitored by both Manchester City and Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window.
The interest comes amid Gibbs-White’s impressive season, with Forest pushing for a Champions League place under manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The England international has been central to their rise, and with speculation growing, Forest are bracing for serious bids.

Premier League giants circling as Gibbs-White shines
With Kevin De Bruyne set to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, the Premier League champions are actively searching for a creative replacement. Gibbs-White’s name quickly surfaced as a possible target following the announcement of De Bruyne’s upcoming exit.
Liverpool are also reportedly keeping tabs, viewing Gibbs-White as a strong addition to Arne Slot’s evolving midfield. His current form — 14 goal contributions in just 30 appearances this season — makes him one of the league’s top-performing midfielders.

Forest ready to demand nine-figure fee
Having made 110 appearances for Nottingham Forest since arriving from Wolves, Gibbs-White has racked up 43 goal contributions (16 goals and 27 assists) and taken on the captain’s role as the club solidifies its place in the Premier League.
According to TBR Football, Forest will not consider letting him go unless a club is prepared to pay up to £100 million. The report adds that Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is also a long-time admirer, and even RB Leipzig from the Bundesliga have shown interest.

Nuno responds to transfer rumours
With Forest preparing to face Everton in a crucial league match, manager Nuno Espirito Santo was asked to comment on the speculation around his captain.
While he didn’t confirm any discussions, Nuno acknowledged Gibbs-White’s importance and the inevitability of transfer attention when a player performs at such a high level.

What’s next for Gibbs-White?
Whether Forest qualify for European football could be key to Gibbs-White’s decision this summer. For now, he remains focused on helping his side push for a top-four or top-five finish — but with interest mounting from England’s elite and beyond, the summer could bring major decisions for both player and club.

100m!? He's not worth that, what in the world.
