£70 million! Forest hopes to sell the midfield core to Manchester City, once created Rodri s only red card

On May 21, TOM COLLOMOSSE, a reporter from the British Daily Mail, answered the fans' questions and talked about Manchester City and Forest midfielder Gibbs White. According to him, White is now the first choice for Manchester City to strengthen the midfield, and Forest also hopes to sell him to Manchester City in exchange for a transfer fee of £70 million.

This season, Manchester City faces the problem of aging midfielders, which is also the most important reason for their serious decline in record performance. To this end, Manchester City announced that it would not renew its contract with midfield core De Bruyne, demonstrating its determination to make a major change in the midfield. Leverkusen's midfield core Wiltz is regarded by Manchester City as De Bruyne's best successor. However, because of the strong strength of the competitors and the high cost of signing, Manchester City chose to withdraw from the bidding of Wilz. Gibbs White became their first choice to strengthen the midfield.

25-year-old Gibbs White has played for the Forest this season, scoring 7 goals and 8 assists, including 7 goals and 8 assists in 33 Premier League games, and can contribute 1.27 steals, 0.67 interceptions and 0.85 clearances per game, sending 1,177 passes and 52 key passes. As a midfielder, Gibbs White has excellent foot skills and first-class pass and shooting skills. His strong ball-holding ability and stable last pass are very consistent with Guardiola's tactical system's detailed requirements for the offensive third zone. Gibbs White's ability to create opportunities is second only to Arsenal's top Saka among Premier League players.

In this sense, although they missed the chance to win Wilts, if Manchester City can sign Gibbs White, it will also be of great significance to the strengthening of the midfield. Currently in the German transfer market, White is worth 50 million euros. Nottingham Forest previously asked him for a price of up to 100 million pounds. However, according to the Post, Forest is also looking forward to selling Gibbs White, and the price is 70 million pounds. As a midfielder with an English household registration book, White is obviously worth the price.

It is worth mentioning that Gibbs White was once the "enemy" of Manchester City's midfielder Rodri. In the 6th round of the Premier League last season, Manchester City beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 at home. At the beginning of the second half, Gibbs White and Rodry fought in the corner, but Rodry, who had always been good-tempered, suddenly lost his mind and reached out to grab the latter's neck after hitting the bull with White. Referee Anthony Taylor showed Rodry a red card immediately, and Gibbs White also received a yellow card.

Then, Rodri was suspended for three games, while Manchester City lost all three games without him. After that game, Gibbs White also became the public enemy of Manchester City fans. But fate is so wonderful. Now White has the opportunity to wear Manchester City jersey and fight alongside Rodri.
