Interest in the midfielder of the England national team is growing against the background of the risk of Nottingham Forest’s relegation from the Premier League.

As reported TEAMtalk, serious interest in the 26-year-old English midfielder is shown by Aston Villa, which is closely monitoring the situation around the Englishman.
Gibbs-White has enjoyed another solid season in the Premier League, scoring five goals in 22 appearances. He remains a key figure in building the team’s game, showing creativity and leadership qualities. At the same time, the tournament position of Nottingham Forest is worrying: after 25 rounds, the team has 26 points and is in 17th place, just one step away from the relegation zone.
Last summer, the club extended the contract with the player until 2028 on record financial terms. This came after Tottenham activated a £60m release clause, but the player opted to stay at the City Ground. However, financial constraints and profitability and sustainability rules may force management to consider a profitable offer.
According to the source, in the event of Nottingham Forest’s relegation, interest in Gibbs-White from EPL clubs will increase significantly, and his departure will become almost inevitable. Aston Villa, who are fighting for a European place under Unai Emery, see the midfielder as an ideal reinforcement.
The estimated amount of the potential transfer could be 65-70 million pounds. In addition, Tottenham, who tried to sign him earlier, is still interested in the player.
