Manchester United and Chelsea have gained an edge in the race for 26-year-old Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White. Previously linked with a transfer to Bayern, those rumours have now been debunked.
Insider Christian Falk has categorically ruled out any interest from the German club:
It is NOT TRUE that Bayern is considering Morgan Gibbs-White as a replacement for Olise should he leave for Real Madrid. Bayern have enough players in midfield, including Kimmich and young talents like Karl and Bischof, while they also have Diaz on the flanks. Moreover, Bayern do not intend to sell Olise this summer.
Challenges of a potential transfer
Despite a change of agent, securing Gibbs-White's move to a BIG-6 club in the Premier League remains complicated.
Financial stability: Nottingham Forest has already generated record funds from the sale of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City, meaning they are under no pressure to sell their key players.
Transfer candidates: Should Manchester United or Chelsea make a substantial offer, the Forest hierarchy may reconsider their stance.
