Morgan Gibbs-White has recently been linked with a potential move to Manchester City, with some speculation suggesting a possible swap deal involving James McAtee. However, Gibbs-White’s camp has not publicly commented on these rumors.
The speculation about a swap deal stems from McAtee’s limited playing time at Manchester City. Despite his potential, McAtee has struggled to secure consistent first-team appearances under Pep Guardiola. This situation has led to reports of interest from clubs like Bayer Leverkusen and Premier League sides such as Fulham and Newcastle . City reportedly rejected offers around £30 million for McAtee, valuing him highly and aiming to avoid a situation similar to Cole Palmer’s departure .
Gibbs-White’s name surfaced in connection with Manchester City due to his impressive performances at Nottingham Forest. Since joining from Wolves, he has been instrumental in Forest’s push for a Champions League spot, contributing five goals and six assists in 24 Premier League appearances . His form has attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs, including Manchester City.
While the idea of a swap deal is intriguing, there has been no official confirmation or statement from either Gibbs-White or Manchester City regarding such an arrangement. Gibbs-White’s camp has remained silent on the matter, and McAtee continues to seek more playing time to further his development.
