According to Christian Falk, it is not true that Bayern are considering Morgan Gibbs-White as a potential Michael Olise replacement, should the Frenchman sign for Real Madrid. Falk stated that Bayern Munich are not searching to strengthen the position and that he does not view Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White as a potential replacement for Olise.

According to FC Bayern Insider, Morgan Gibbs-White has been added to Bayern Munich's list of possible reinforcements for the future. The Nottingham Forest midfielder is valued highly by the Bavarian management, but a transfer during the current transfer window appears difficult. Owner Evangelos Marinakis and new coach Oliver Glasner want to further strengthen the squad and avoid losing another key player after the sale of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City. Last summer, Gibbs-White was near to joining Tottenham before signing a new three-year contract that made him the highest-paid player in Nottingham Forest's history. According to the Daily Mail, if Michael Olise were to leave Bayern Munich, with Real Madrid interested in him, Gibbs-White could become one of the main candidates to replace him, but this is described as a scenario for the future.

According to the Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is considered a target for Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Atletico Madrid have inquired about Morgan Gibbs-White, who has also been monitored by Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea. Nottingham Forest have stated they do not want to sell the player, with a source indicating to TEAMtalk that any offer would need to be higher than the fee for Elliot Anderson. Gibbs-White's contract runs until June 2028, and he scored 15 goals and provided 4 assists in 37 Premier League appearances in the 2025/2026 season.
