Aston Villa Identify Gibbs-White as Possible Rogers Successor, Reports Say

Sources portray the plan as driven by PSR pressure alongside Forest’s relegation threat.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Villa have lined up Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White as a contingency if Morgan Rogers is sold this summer.
  • Reporters place a potential fee for Gibbs-White in the £65–70 million range, with availability seen as more likely if Forest drop to the Championship.
  • No formal bids or club confirmations have been disclosed, and the links are based on sourced reporting rather than announced negotiations.
  • Rogers is valued at roughly £100 million after a standout season, with interest reported from Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.
  • Coverage notes Tottenham triggered Gibbs-White’s release clause last summer before he signed a new Forest deal, and suggests Villa’s PSR constraints could prompt sales that set off a summer domino.
