Overview
- Bayern Munich and Newcastle began discussions on Friday, according to multiple reports from the UK and Germany, with the Bundesliga club moving early in the race for the England winger.
- Reports say Bayern value Gordon at about £55m while Newcastle want closer to £75–80m, and Everton are due 15% of Newcastle’s profit over the £45m they paid, which reduces what Newcastle keep from any fee.
- Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe said he is not part of negotiations and insisted Gordon is 100% committed to the final three matches, adding that he selects only players he sees fully engaged in training.
- Interest extends beyond Bayern, with Arsenal, Liverpool and PSG checking on Gordon, and photos of his agents in Barcelona surfaced this week, though local reporting said those talks focused on other targets.
- Club context points to a potential sale this summer to help meet financial rules, yet Gordon is under contract until 2030, creating leverage for Newcastle as his standout Champions League form has drawn elite suitors.
