Manchester City have decided to replace Kevin DeBrowner.
European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on his personal SNS on the 4th (Korea time) that `Man City is considering Morgan Gibbs-White as its top priority, so we plan to proceed with the deal in the next few weeks.'
Romano expects that there will be no problem in the individual agreement. However, Nottingham Forest will still have to work on persuasion because they want to keep the player.
Tribune in England 'Man City has begun to accelerate negotiations on Gibbs-White. Man City are facing pressure to sign him even as they seek to replace Derbroughner. Liverpool and Manchester United are also interested in him, but Manchester City is the leader. Negotiations are expected to begin in earnest.'

Manchester City officially announced their split from Derbrowner in April. 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. 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.
Initially, the most likely candidate was Florian Birtz from Leverkusen. However, with the recent news that Birz is approaching a transfer to Bayern Munich, Manchester City had no choice but to turn to another candidate. Gibbs-White emerged as the leading candidate.

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 34 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.

For Manchester City, negotiations on transfer fees do not seem easy. Nottingham reportedly wants more than 100 million pounds (about 186 billion won) for Gibbs White's transfer. This is the same as the transfer fee of Jack Grealish, the highest transfer fee ever for Manchester City. Manchester City may have to pay the club's highest transfer fee ever to recruit Gibbs White.
Manchester City's recruitment plan to replace Dubrowiner is starting in earnest. Attention is also focusing on which player will fill the vacancy of the legend.
