Nottingham Forest is actively pursuing contract negotiations with multiple key players, as recent developments have come to light.
The club is primarily focused on securing new agreements with Ola Aina and Chris Wood, whose current contracts are set to expire at the end of this season.
The situation has some urgency, as both players could potentially negotiate with foreign clubs starting January 1st if no new deals are finalized.
In a significant revelation, the Daily Mail has reported that discussions have also commenced with Morgan Gibbs-White regarding a contract revision.
The England international, who arrived at Forest in a substantial £25 million transfer from Wolves in 2022, currently earns approximately £60,000 weekly on his five-year deal.
Reports indicate he’s seeking a considerable salary increase.
Since joining Forest, Gibbs-White has proven instrumental to the team’s success, particularly evident in their impressive current fourth-place standing in the Premier League.
His versatility was recently showcased in the team’s 2-0 victory over Brentford, where manager Nuno Espirito Santo successfully deployed him in a deeper midfield role alongside Elliot Anderson.
Following the match, Santo praised the tactical intelligence of both midfielders, highlighting their ability to maintain positional discipline despite their youth.
“The key is understanding the balance – when one advances, the other must hold position,” Santo explained, commending their game awareness and maturity.
