Overview
- Newcastle United, which set an asking price of about €86m (£75m) Wednesday, has yet to receive an official bid from Bayern Munich, according to multiple reports.
- Bayern are viewed as the frontrunner for the winger, though earlier reporting says their internal valuation was lower than Newcastle’s demand.
- Liverpool are monitoring the situation, with local analysis suggesting the £75m fee could block a move to Anfield this summer.
- Newcastle CEO David Hopkinson has said the club could sell one or two key players but only on terms they decide.
- Coverage notes debate over value as Gordon’s 17 goals include many penalties, and he recently missed a match with a minor hip flexor issue but is expected back soon.
