Overview
- Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said Friday that Anthony Gordon may have made his final appearance for the club and added he has no updates because he is not involved in any talks.
- Sky Sports and others report Bayern have opened discussions with Newcastle, but there is no agreement as the clubs remain far apart on valuation.
- Newcastle are seeking roughly £75m–£80m, while reports place Bayern’s stance closer to £50m–£65m, with Football Insider saying a £65m offer is expected.
- Everton are due about 15% of any profit on a future sale, which would cut Newcastle’s net return and strengthens their push for a higher fee under long-term contract control.
- Gordon has missed four straight matches, the first two for a hip flexor injury, and multiple outlets say player-side talks and a move abroad are being explored without a finalized deal.
