Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has taken a firm stance regarding the future of key player Morgan Gibbs-White, amidst growing interest from top clubs, notably Aston Villa.
As Forest prepares for their Premier League opener against Bournemouth, speculation around Gibbs-White’s potential transfer has intensified. However, Espirito Santo made it clear in a recent press conference that Gibbs-White is not for sale, emphasizing the importance of retaining the 24-year-old talent who joined Forest in 2022 for an initial fee of £25 million.
Espirito Santo highlighted the unity and dedication within the team, noting that the priority is to keep all players until the transfer window closes. He acknowledged the interest from other clubs but reiterated Forest’s commitment to maintaining its core squad.
Gibbs-White has quickly become a fan favorite at the City Ground, dazzling opponents and earning admiration from supporters. While a move to a larger club might be inevitable in the future, Forest currently faces no pressure to sell.
Espirito Santo’s remarks suggest that only an extraordinary offer would prompt Forest to consider parting with their star midfielder before the transfer deadline.
