When the transfer to Tottenham Hotspur was temporarily suspended, Morgan Gibbs-White, who joined his original team Nottingham Forest and played a preseason game, was found not to have accompanied the team on its way to Portugal. Tottenham fans are cheering, thinking this is a paving stone for Gibbs-White to join the Tottenham squad.
British media TBR Football reported on the 21st (Korea time) 'Gibs-White, who was linked to Tottenham's transfer rumor, did not travel to Portugal with the Nottingham squad'
Nottingham ace Gibbs-White looked set to move to Tottenham on the 11th. At the time, reporter Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the first tier of the European transfer market, said Tottenham paid $60 million in buyout for Gibbs-White and succeeded in recruiting him. The BBC, a British public broadcaster with the strongest public confidence, also reported Gibbs-White's transfer to Tottenham.

However, Gibbs-White's trip to Tottenham, which seemed to be going smoothly, was suddenly put on hold. The Nottingham club suspected Tottenham of illegally contacting the player and finding out the amount of the buyout, a confidential matter in the contract, and suspended the transfer work.
In the end, the Nottingham club filed a complaint with Tottenham in the Premier League over allegations of illegal contact with Gibbs-White. Nottingham have since cut off all communication with Tottenham. Naturally, the transfer negotiations have been suspended.

In the end, Gibbs-White returned to the Nottingham training ground and began training for the new season, and started in the first preseason game against AS Monaco in French Ligue 1 on the 19th and played 45 minutes. In this regard, the BBC reported that Gibbs-White played for Nottingham in the pre-season friendly at a time when uncertainty about a move to Tottenham continued. Nottingham fans chanted Gibbs-White's name as he left the field after the first half, who responded by making a heart shape for those fans, the report said.

However, Gibbs-White, who played in a pre-season friendly match, did not join his team's pre-season tour of Portugal. TBR Football quoted Telegraph reporter John Percy as saying that `Gibbs-White did not join Nottingham's expedition to Portugal due to personal reasons.'
Nottingham left for Portugal for a pre-season tour on the morning of the 22nd. In Portugal, friendly matches against Fulham and G.D. Estoril Praia are scheduled.
The news of Gibbs-White's absence from Portugal has sparked renewed controversy over his future. Tottenham fans believe this is a message for joining Tottenham.
However, TBR Football said 'Gibbs-White is expected to join his Nottingham teammates who left first for Portugal by the end of the week and continue pre-season training' In other words, it means that Gibbs-White did not leave for Portugal with the Nottingham team because of simple personal reasons and had nothing to do with Tottenham's transfer.
However, local opinion is that Gibbs-White is still likely to move to Tottenham. Even Nottingham are working on an alternative for Gibbs-White's move.
TBR Football is seeking to sign James McCarty. However, several clubs, including Frankfurt, RB Leipzig, and Dortmund in the Bundesliga, are also watching McCarty from Manchester City. The current transfer fee for McCarty is estimated to be £20 million and predicted that if Gibbs-White were to move to Tottenham, McCarty could be the ideal player to replace him. In the end, Nottingham is also seeking to recruit McCarty in case he fails to win the legal dispute.
