Nottingham Forest are enjoying an impressive Premier League campaign, with Champions League qualification becoming a realistic target for next season.

The Reds secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Manchester City on Saturday, extending their lead over the reigning champions to four points. Callum Hudson-Odoi’s match-winning goal earned high praise from Michael Owen.

While maintaining focus will be key, Nuno Espirito Santo is on the verge of achieving something remarkable this season.

With such a successful run, Forest may face challenges in the summer as they look to retain their star players amidst expected transfer interest.

Murillo has already attracted attention from other Premier League clubs, but his recent contract extension ensures that Forest can demand a substantial fee if a transfer materializes.

Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United eyeing Morgan Gibbs-White

As reported by Caught Offside, Forest are preparing for potential summer bids for Gibbs-White, with several top clubs expressing interest.

Tottenham and Manchester City have also joined the race to sign him, and with Forest likely needing to sell at least one key player to comply with PSR regulations, speculation over his future is growing.

However, there are inconsistencies in reports suggesting that Forest would consider offers in the region of £50 million for Gibbs-White.

Given that qualifying for European football would likely trigger the full £42.5 million payment to Wolves from his transfer deal, it seems highly unlikely that Forest would entertain a sale for such a minimal profit.

The club is instead focused on securing Gibbs-White to a new contract. With 40 goal contributions in a Forest shirt, it’s difficult to imagine them accepting an offer at that price.

Morgan Gibbs-White’s 2024/25 Premier League stats

At the start of last season, Stuart Pearce described Gibbs-White as ‘fantastic,’ and he has since played a pivotal role in solidifying Forest’s status as a top-flight force.

The thought of losing him is unsettling, but at some point, Forest will have to balance their finances again—though Champions League revenue could make it easier to hold onto key players.

Key Passes: 38
Game Rating: 7.06

Selling him for the reported figure simply doesn’t add up. In reality, any club looking to secure his services would likely need to bid in excess of £70 million, given his current form for Forest.

Ideally, Forest can fend off interest from their Premier League rivals, and the speculation surrounding their key players only reinforces just how well they’ve performed this season.
