Overview
- Talks between Bayern Munich and Newcastle United over Anthony Gordon began Friday, according to multiple reports.
- Arsenal and Liverpool have tracked the England winger, yet Bayern are the first to move into formal dialogue.
- Newcastle are expected to seek around £75m for Gordon, while reports in Germany put Bayern’s valuation closer to £55m, leaving a wide gap.
- Gordon is under contract at Newcastle until 2030, and a sell-on payment due to Everton would reduce Newcastle’s net proceeds and stiffen their stance.
- Accounts differ on the player’s wishes, with the Mirror saying he wants his future settled before the June World Cup and Chronicle Live reporting he has not asked to leave and remains in training.
