Overview
- Spanish reports say Manchester United have submitted a significant offer for Anthony Gordon and now lead the chase, though no fee was disclosed and no deal is agreed.
- Christian Falk reported Friday that Bayern have opened player-side talks and want Gordon to commit to them only to strengthen their hand with Newcastle.
- The widely cited price is about €75m (£65m–£75m), which Falk says is too expensive for Bayern and could prompt them to look at cheaper alternatives.
- Liverpool and Arsenal remain in the frame, with Falk describing Liverpool as better placed to pay the fee and noting Gordon’s family affinity for the club.
- Newcastle’s financial strain and a likely reset after missing Europe could make a sale possible this summer, but there is still no club-to-club agreement.
