Overview
- Multiple outlets report Bayern have held concrete talks with Anthony Gordon’s representatives, while no club-to-club negotiations with Newcastle have begun.
- Goal, citing the BBC, reports Newcastle would only engage at around €80 million, which is higher than earlier estimates that ranged from roughly €60–70 million.
- Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg says Bayern view Gordon as competition for Luis Díaz on the left and value his ability to play across the front line.
- Fabrizio Romano has said Newcastle may need to sell at least one top player for financial compliance, yet Gordon’s contract reportedly runs to 2030 with no release clause, giving Newcastle leverage.
- Gordon’s form this season, including 17 goals with 10 in the Champions League, has drawn interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, which could increase the fee required.
