Tottenham Hotspur thought they had a deal in place for Morgan Gibbs-White after they activated the midfielder's release clause, however, Nottingham Forest refused to bow to pressure, as they threatened legal action against their Premier League rivals. The transfer saga finally ended last weekend when Gibbs-White signed a record-breaking contract at the City Ground.
Morgan Gibbs-White has extended his contract with Nottingham Forest until 2028. The 25-year-old, who has become a central figure in the team’s resurgence, was tied to the club until 2027, but Forest were always eager to extend that commitment further., despite Tottenham triggering his £60 million ($81m) release clause.
Crystal Palace have appealed against their demotion from the Europa League, with the Court of Arbitration for Sport set to rule on or before August 11.
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis wants Morgan Gibbs-White to join Manchester City instead of Tottenham if he leaves the club this summer. Earlier this month, Spurs activated the midfielder's £60 million ($80m) release clause but the transfer talks stalled after Forest accused the Lilywhites of making an "illegal approach".
