Manchester City has made a firm decision regarding the upcoming transfer market: to go after Morgan Gibbs-White. The midfielder from Nottingham Forest is currently the top priority on Pep Guardiola's club agenda, as they see him as the ideal player to fill the role that Kevin De Bruyne will leave after the next season. According to sources close to the operation, the 'Citizens' would be willing to offer 60 million euros to secure his signing this summer.

City's board, aware that De Bruyne's cycle at the Etihad is coming to an end, has started planning the transition in the team's creative zone. Guardiola values Gibbs-White's technical ability, dynamism, and tactical reading, a player who has grown rapidly since joining Forest. This season, the Englishman has been a key piece in his team's offensive machinery, accumulating goals and assists with significant consistency.

The big challenge, however, will be to convince Nottingham Forest to part ways with their star. The club is not willing to negotiate easily, but City's interest and the player's ambition to take a competitive leap could hasten the agreement. Gibbs-White's circle does not rule out a departure, especially if it means joining a project like the current English champions.

In Manchester, they are confident about finalizing the deal in the upcoming weeks, knowing that other clubs are also closely monitoring the attacking midfielder. Guardiola already has a plan on how the Englishman would fit into his system, and at the Etihad, they see him as more than just a substitute: he is viewed as the team's future maestro.
