Manchester City is once again preparing to recruit a super large team.
England's Football Insider reported on the 15th (Korea time) 'Man City has begun negotiations to recruit Morgan Gibbs-White in earnest'
Football Insider said 'Man City plans to begin preliminary negotiations with Nottingham Forest this summer to assess the potential for Gibbs White. Pep Guardiola has been impressed by Gibbs-White's performance and believes he will show a different style than Kevin De Bruyne. Gibbs-White is one of the four targets Man City are aiming for.

Manchester City officially announced their separation from Derbroughner on the 4th. Many fans were saddened by the breakup with Living Legend, who was in charge of Manchester City's midfield since his transfer in 2015, and attention was also paid to which player will fill the void of Derbrowner in the next season.
It is a recruitment that is inevitably a concern for Manchester City. Born in 1991, even though he is now quite old, he was not able to fill the vacancy of Derbroughner, who still shows his best skills on the field, with a regular player. Immediately, world-class midfielders such as Florian Birz and Pedri were listed as candidates for recruitment.

The name that surprised fans the most was Gibbs White. Gibbs-White, who made his professional debut through the Wolverhampton youth team in 2017, was already considered the best talent developed by the Wolverhampton youth system and received tremendous attention. Gibbs-White, who later settled in Wolverhampton on loan, was offered by several teams and moved to Nottingham, where he invested a huge transfer fee.
Even after his transfer to Nottingham, Gibbs-White continued to play well and established himself as the ace under Nunu Santo. He has emerged as the team's main player by playing in 38 official games in the 2022-2023 season, and has already played in 31 games this season, scoring five goals and seven assists, and is considered a clear key player. Danny Murphy, an expert from the English Premier League, compared his performance to world-class midfielder Fabregas who played for Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea.

Manchester City seems to have started recruiting Gibbs White immediately, paying attention to his talent. However, in the case of Gibbsite, the transfer fee may be a problem. Nottingham is said to want £100 million (about 190 billion won) for Gibbs White's transfer, the same amount as Jack Grealish's transfer fee, which is the highest ever for Manchester City. Manchester City may have to pay the club's highest transfer fee ever to recruit Gibbs White.
With the break-up from Derbroughner, Manchester City has begun a full-fledged replacement of the midfield generation. If Nottingham's ace moves to the core of Manchester City's midfield, his performance next season is expected to be an important factor for fans.
