Kalvin Phillips, Jack Grealish, and James McAtee are set to move on. There is also a chance that one of Nico Gonzalez or Ilkay Gundogan will depart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Forest had slapped a \u00a3100million asking price on Gibbs-White towards the end of last season, with the 25-year-old&#8217;s performances fuelling their charge to European football and earning an England call-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">City signed Reijnders and Cherki for a combined \u00a377.3million in initial fees instead, but Gibbs-White&#8217;s future was back on the agenda last week after Tottenham activated a \u00a360million release clause in his City Ground contract.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He had been expected to complete a move to Spurs, but Forest reacted furiously to Tottenham having knowledge of that clause and threatened to report them to the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/premier-league\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a> for an alleged illegal approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">It has since been claimed that Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis would now rather sell Gibbs-White to a different club and that he is hoping City will prove willing buyers and re-enter the race. But the Blues have no intention of doing so and have ended their interest in Gibbs-White.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Pep Guardiola&#8217;s squad is already bloated, and director of football Hugo Viana is currently working on outgoings, with an intention of bringing the numbers down before the start of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n<p>Man City&#8217;s 2025\/26 Away Shirt<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/0_Untitled-3jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"Content Image\" fetchpriority=\"auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a385<\/p>\n<p>Fanatics<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"AffiliateContent_content-buy-btn__xWiVO buy-btn\" aria-label=\"Buy button\" href=\"https:\/\/fanatics.93n6tx.net\/c\/344386\/586570\/9663?subId1=Regionals-FootballLondon&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanatics.co.uk%2Fen%2Fpremier-league%2Fmanchester-city%2Fo-10537128%2Bt-92979033%2Bz-931-1744300801\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Get the shirt here<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Man City have launched their new away shirt for the 2025\/26 season, featuring an all-black design inspired by the club&#8217;s earliest-known kit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Here at the Manchester Evening News, we\u2019re dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester City coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Make sure you don\u2019t miss out on the latest City news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
