Bayern Munich is reportedly working on a sensational transfer coup for the upcoming summer.

According to Talksport, the German record champions are pursuing Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White. The Munich club is said to be among the most promising contenders in the race for the midfielder.

If the report is accurate, Bayern Munich would likely have to fight hard for the 26-year-old midfielder.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis blocked a move by Gibbs-White to league rival Tottenham Hotspur last summer. At the time, it was even reported that the Greek shipping magnate and media investor wanted to take legal action against Spurs.

Gibbs-White came through the youth academy at Wolverhampton Wanderers and moved to Nottingham in 2022 for just under 30 million euros. Since then, he has made 176 competitive appearances for Forest, scoring 37 goals and providing 37 assists.

Bayern Munich: 70 million euros for Morgan Gibbs-White?

His current market value is estimated at 70 million euros.

At Bayern Munich, Gibbs-White would meet his national team colleague and captain Harry Kane, provided the 33-year-old extends his expiring contract at Säbener Straße as expected. A new three-year contract is being discussed for Kane.

Club president and supervisory board chairman Herbert Hainer recently stated at Oktoberfest, according to Bild, that he was very positive about the Kane situation. Hainer noted that when speaking with Kane, which he does frequently, one can tell how comfortable he feels and how comfortable his family feels. He emphasized that Kane can win titles there and pointed out that looking at what Kane has already achieved in the last two or three years, he never had that before.
