WOLVES want Morgan Gibbs-White to sign a new contract — as rivals Southampton and Nottingham Forest battle for his signature.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is back from a loan at Sheffield United and both Saints as well as Forest want him and are poised with offers.
But Wolves coach Bruno Lage wants Gibbs-White to stay and will attempt to agree terms this month.
If the England Under-21 international turns a new contract down then they will reluctantly sell.
The asking price is likely to be higher than the current £25million valuations being discussed.
Gibbs-White started at Wolves’ academy at the tender age of eight years old.

The versatile midfielder earned his first senior call-up in 2017 and has amassed a total of three goals and one assist in 86 appearances at Molineux.
He has also undergone two loan stints at Swansea and of course Sheffield United.
Gibbs-White was so impressive with the Blades this past season that he earned interest from Southampton and Forest.
SunSport recently revealed that Nottingham owner Evangelos Marinakis’ summer transfer policy will be based on manager Steve Cooper and CEO Dane Murphy’s needs.

Marinakis is going to be working closely with Cooper and Murphy during the summer transfer window and will rely heavily on their advice when determining preferred targets.
The Greek businessman is also expected to splash over £2m on the club’s training pitches, which will be renovated “from scratch” before next season.
The Olympiacos owner will be pumping over £3.5m into the academy’s facilities as well.
