The genius Man City and Nottingham Forest swap transfer deal that could shake up summer window

Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have the chance to bolster their respective squads this summer

Manchester City have under-performed in the Premier League this season and will be hoping for much better next time around. Pep Guardiola has the chance to bring in some new faces this summer. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see some players head through the entrance door at the Etihad Stadium.

As for Nottingham Forest, they have enjoyed an excellent campaign under the guidance of Nuno Espirito Santo. They are eyeing a place in the Champions League and have their sights set on the top four. They have four fixtures left to play as they aim to achieve their target.

Manchester City ‘fancy’ signing Morgan Gibbs-White, as per the Daily Mail, and despite missing a couple of chances, he caught the eye playing against Guardiola’s men at Wembley in their FA Cup semi-final clash last time out. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Nottingham Forest face a real battle to keep hold of him. He is under contract at the City Ground until June 2027 but money talks.

City have a vacancy to fill in his position with Kevin de Bruyne set to leave when this campaign is over. The North West side have the financial power to sign pretty much whoever they want and Gibbs-White would be a shrewd addition if they got him. He is still relatively young, has potential to get better and would inject quality into their starting XI.

The England international, who has two caps to his name, was snapped up by Forest in 2022 after their promotion from the Championship under ex-manager Steve Cooper. He has since become one of their most prized assets and has scored 16 goals in 113 matches, five of which have come this term.
