Manchester City are gearing up to accelerate negotiations for Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, who remains a top target for their summer squad overhaul, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 25-year-old midfielder, pivotal in Forest’s Champions League push with five goals and nine assists this season, is expected to have no issues agreeing personal terms with City. However, convincing Nottingham Forest, who are determined to retain their star player, poses a challenge.

With Gibbs-White’s contract running until 2027, Forest hold a strong position but face pressure as City aim to replace Kevin De Bruyne. Talks are set to intensify soon, with City leading the race despite interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.
