The future of Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White is up in the air ahead of the summer transfer window.
Forest will likely be in a sound financial position this summer, but after a remarkable season, it’s natural that other clubs will be looking to sign the team’s players.
Gibbs-White is going to be very sought-after this summer, and whatever may be for Forest at the weekend, it could be the last time the Reds fan base get to see their number 10 in action.
Manchester City are keen on Gibbs-White, with Pep Guardiola in the market for a new number 10 after the departure of Kevin De Bruyne, who will be leaving this summer.
Now, it’s been reported just how much Forest are expecting to receive for the services of Gibbs-White should he leave this summer.

How much Nottingham Forest want for Morgan Gibbs-White
It would appear as though Forest won’t be letting Gibbs-White go on the cheap and want their record transfer fee recouped to be smashed if he does leave.
According to Daily Mail journalist Tom Collomosse, Forest expect to receive an offer of around £70 million for his services this summer.
There is no indication that the figure will be enough to tempt Evangelos Marinakis into a sale but things will be complicated by the fact that Wolves are owed 10% of whatever fee is recouped.

Gibbs-White will be a sore miss to the Forest team next season should he depart when the summer transfer window opens.
It will be a real shame that Forest won’t get to witness Gibbs-White leading the team out in Europe, with the player likely to be the subject of huge interest from bigger clubs.

The player has operated in a number of positions for Forest since signing for the club in the summer of 2022 and in three seasons, he’s grown as a player.
If he does depart for Manchester City, the challenge will be replacing him and with that in mind, the hope will be that Forest can replace him adequately.
