Tottenham accelerates the introduction of Gibbs White, Manchester City has been blocked due to termination

News:

Tottenham Hotspur has made frequent moves in the transfer market, and negotiations on the introduction of Nottingham Forest midfielder Gibbs White are progressing rapidly. According to multiple media reports, the 60 million termination clause of Gibbs-White contract has taken effect, and Tottenham is very likely to trigger the clause to close the deal.

Gibbs-White, 25 years old, joined Nottingham Forest from Wolves in August 2022 for a basic transfer fee of £25 million plus an additional clause of 17 million. During his three years at the team, he has made 118 appearances, contributed 18 goals and 28 assists, and performed very well. Last season, he even helped the team finish seventh in the Premier League and qualified for the European Union next season.

It is worth noting that Manchester City had previously been interested in Gibbs-White. Reporter Ben Jacobs revealed that when Manchester City asked Gibbs-White for the price, his £60 million termination fee had not yet taken effect, Nottingham Forest asked for more than £65 million at the time. In the end, Manchester City chose Rayan Cherki and Tijani Reindez. Now Tottenham is fully promoting Gibbs White's transfer, and new coach Thomas Frank favors him, and Tottenham can provide him with opportunities for the Champions League, which is very attractive to the players. If the deal is reached, Gibbs White is expected to officially become a member of Tottenham by this weekend. Nottingham Forest has approved Elanga's transfer to Newcastle for £55 million, and losing Gibbs-White will undoubtedly be a big loss. And the Wolves will also gain something from the deal by adding a 10% second transfer share clause when Gibbs White moved to Nottingham Forest.
