Bayern Munich have their eyes set on a marquee signing for the 2026 summer window—and all signs point to Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon. After a productive 2025 transfer season that brought in key pieces like Jonathan Tah and Luis Díaz, the German giants are now focused on adding depth across the squad while making a big splash in attack.

Recent reports indicate that FC Barcelona have stepped back from the race for Gordon due to the asking price, leaving Bayern as the frontrunners. According to Tz’s Manuel Bonke, as relayed by @iMiaSanMia, Bayern have set their maximum offer at €70 million. Newcastle’s current demands, however, are still considered too high for the Bavarian club to meet.

At 25 years old, Gordon is a versatile and proven attacker—exactly the kind of player Bayern values. He can operate across multiple roles in the final third, offering flexibility and dynamism. But is he worth the price tag? Transfermarkt currently values him at €60 million, making a €70 million fee seem steep for his profile.

Bayern will be hoping history repeats itself. Their last big-money move for a Premier League attacker turned out to be a resounding success, and fans will be watching closely to see if Gordon can follow suit. For now, the ball is in Newcastle’s court—will they lower their demands, or will Bayern walk away?
