Bayern Lead Race for Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon as £75m Price Set

Newcastle’s £75m price tag sets up a summer test of Bayern’s resolve.

Overview

  • Reports published Tuesday said Newcastle set a £75m valuation for Anthony Gordon, and Bayern are arranging meetings with the winger’s agents before any bid.
  • Bayern’s internal valuation is about £55m, leaving a sizeable gap that any deal will need to close.
  • Gordon is understood to be open to joining Bayern, according to Sky Switzerland and others, though Newcastle have not been told he wants to leave.
  • Newcastle have started lining up potential replacements and may sell to raise funds under the Premier League’s spending rules.
  • Liverpool and Arsenal still like the player, and with Gordon under contract until 2030 with no release clause, Newcastle retain leverage even as rival interest could lift the fee.
