Bayern Munich are reportedly making a strong play to sign Nottingham Forest's in-form midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, with the German giants now considered leading contenders for the 26-year-old talent.
Gibbs-White has been lighting up the Premier League with his performances for Forest, making a high-profile transfer seem increasingly likely. Recent reports from the Daily Mail indicated that the midfielder had switched agents, a move often seen when significant transfer interest is brewing, with Manchester United and Chelsea previously linked.
Now, talkSPORT claims Bayern Munich are at the front of the queue, eyeing Gibbs-White who is valued at approximately €70 million according to Transfermarkt. Losing such a key player would undoubtedly be a major setback for Nottingham Forest, especially following the earlier departure of another player to Manchester City.
However, Forest might be in a solid negotiating position, potentially able to command a substantial fee for Gibbs-White. It remains to be seen what offers clubs will put forward, but it's unlikely Forest will settle for anything less than a significant sum.
Meanwhile, Gibbs-White recently celebrated his call-up to the England squad with a lighthearted video shared on social media, showcasing his excitement for the international duty, even if some supporters might question his playful response to the news.
