Barcelona Step Back as Bayern and Premier League Clubs Pursue Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon

Newcastle’s price tag is the sticking point after early contact with Bayern.

Overview

  • Fabrizio Romano says Barcelona are not targeting Anthony Gordon because of the cost, narrowing the chase to Bayern Munich and Premier League clubs.
  • Bayern have held initial talks with Gordon’s representatives, and multiple reports describe a proposed five-year deal if a transfer is agreed.
  • Sport Bild reports that honorary president Uli Hoeneß is pushing the move, though Bayern are reluctant to match Newcastle’s reported €92 million valuation.
  • No agreement exists between the clubs, and the valuation gap remains the main obstacle to a summer transfer.
  • Chelsea have been linked to the winger by Simon Phillips via Tz, as Gordon’s camp visits top European teams to gauge interest.
