Man City makes first transfer player move ahead of June 2025

Man City in a shocking turn of events have made their first player transfer move ahead of the June 2025 window.

The latest transfer update has now confirmed that Man City have reported made their first player move ahead of the 2025 June transfer window. According to seasoned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano Man City have opened talks to sign Nottingham Forest’s talisman, Morgan Gibbs White.

It has been revealed that Morgan Gibbs White is viewed as a possible replacement for Kevin De Bruyne who is expected to leave Man City at the end of the 2024/2025 Premier League season.

Manchester City are prioritizing the addition of an attacking midfielder during the upcoming summer transfer window, with Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White emerging as a leading candidate. While the club also holds a strong interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, Gibbs-White is currently seen as the more attainable option for a move to the Etihad.

Alongside strengthening their squad, City are also aiming to reduce their wage expenses — a goal that will be aided by the expected departure of long-serving midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

Although it may be premature to consider Gibbs-White a direct successor to De Bruyne, there is growing confidence that he could be the club’s first acquisition of the summer.
