Sources: Gibbs-White eyes Nottingham Forest exit amid offers deluge

Morgan Gibbs-White is weighing up a push to leave Nottingham Forest at the end of the season, sources have told Football Insider.

The 26-year-old is desperate to play Champions League football at this stage of his career, and there is concern as to whether the Reds can match his ambitions.

The attacking midfielder is understood to be happy to stay at the City Ground if they can secure European football again, but is likely to look elsewhere if not.

Sources say that several leading Premier League clubs are keen to offer him a move within the next 12 months, and an opportunity to play at the elite European level would be "hard to ignore" for the player.

Gibbs-White is currently the highest-paid player in Forest's squad, but there is an element of uncertainty surrounding his contract situation.

His current deal is due to expire in the summer of 2028, after Forest were only able to get him to commit to a three-year deal last summer.

Now or never for Nottingham Forest to keep Morgan Gibbs-White

Gibbs-White has stayed loyal to Forest in recent years, despite a huge onslaught from Tottenham ahead of last season.

The Lilywhites triggered the release clause in the player's previous contract, but he committed to the Reds once again with a new deal.

However, they are now effectively at the now-or-never stage when it comes to keeping hold of him long-term.

The England international is happy at the City Ground, but knows that he is running out of time to play in the Champions League during his prime years.

Forest have ambitions of becoming regulars on the European stage, but that will require steady and sustained improvement across the coming years.

Gibbs-White has already turned down chances to move away in the past, but it is likely to be a different story this time around, unless Forest can show clear progress.

Nottingham Forest could offer Gibbs-White a new deal

Football Insider revealed on Monday that Forest are doing "everything they can" to prevent Gibbs-White from leaving next summer.

Tottenham's long-term interest in the former Wolves man still remains, and they are just one of several top clubs who are keeping a close eye on him.

The Reds are potentially even willing to issue their star man with another new contract, despite only putting their current deal in place last summer.

Gibbs-White is now a regular in the England squad, after becoming the first Forest player to be capped for the Three Lions in 27 years when he first played for his country back in 2024.

His standing within the game is growing with every passing week, and that has created a difficult situation for Forest in terms of his future.
