EXCLUSIVE: Nottingham Forest’s Gibbs-White stance revealed as Liverpool swoop

Nottingham Forest will “do everything they can” to keep hold of captain Morgan Gibbs-White this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

Forest are desperate to keep all of their best players in the off-season after a stunning 2024-25 campaign.

Football Insider first revealed on 1st January that Liverpool have a “concrete interest” in Gibbs-White and he has been linked with Man United and Arsenal in recent weeks ahead of his contract at the City Ground expiring in June 2027.

Murillo has already signed a new contract at Forest this year after strong interest from Chelsea.

He joined Forest in August 2022 and has recently earned a call-up to Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad.
