Bayern Signal They Will Sign An Attacker If Finances Allow As Gordon Talks Continue

Overview

• Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl publicly said the club has agreed to sign an attacker if the move can be financed, signalling continued interest in Anthony Gordon.
• Reports show Gordon and his representatives have held direct talks with Bayern and the player is open to a move, with conversations described as positive.
• A major obstacle is a wide club-to-club valuation gap, with Newcastle reportedly asking about £75–80m (roughly €85–90m) which Bayern view as too high.
• Newcastle’s asking price is complicated by a reported Everton sell-on clause that would take roughly 15% of any profit and reduce Newcastle’s net receipts.
• Bayern are keeping a measured summer plan that includes youth targets such as 16-year-old Kennet Eichhorn and a search for a top-class striker while choosing not to make Nicolas Jackson’s loan permanent.
