Nottingham Forest will face interest in a number of their star players this summer, especially after finishing the season so well.

Elliot Anderson is a target for Manchester City, whilst other players will naturally be in the sights of some of the Premier League sides set to compete in the Champions League.

👀Would you take Curtis Jones if Elliot Anderson leaves Nottingham Forest this summer?🤔

Fringe players might need to make way for new signings, but Forest’s main priority will be to keep hold of star players such as Morgan Gibbs-White, Murillo and Neco Williams.

With the World Cup on the horizon and Forest’s star players largely on the beach, some information has come to light on the future of Gibbs-White.

Aston Villa the most serious club in for Gibbs-White

According to SportsBoom, Villa are the club to watch when it comes to Gibbs-White this summer.

PSR regulations dictate that they might need to sell Morgan Rogers this summer, and as a result, they will want to target a replacement.

Gibbs-White is going to be an option for Unai Emery, with the Spaniard thought to be a very big fan of the Forest number 10, earmarking him as a potential signing if Rogers leaves.

The positive for Forest fans is that Evangelos Marinakis is keen to keep hold of Gibbs-White for at least another season, with the attacker having two years to run on his contract.

Villa aren’t the only club looking to sign Gibbs-White this summer, with Tottenham, PSG, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all considering making a move.

On a scale of 1-10 how confident are you that Nottingham Forest will keep Morgan Gibbs-White this summer?

How much is the star man worth?🔥

Forest have to stand firm on Gibbs-White

The 26-year-old finished 2025/26 in the form of his life, and if he was to be sold, it would surely be for more than the £60 million which Tottenham thought they’d landed him for last summer.

Gibbs-White will be valued almost as much as Anderson by Marinakis, although with a year less on his contract, the sums might be easier for the chasing clubs to calculate during the summer window.

Forest can’t possibly lose Gibbs-White and Anderson in the same transfer window and it looks as though Marinakis is going to have to work his magic all over again this summer.
