Liverpool's summer transfer plans are heating up, and the rumor mill is working overtime at Anfield. With several areas of the squad needing reinforcements, the Reds are poised to be one of the Premier League's busiest teams in the upcoming window. While the focus has been on multiple positions, the attack is a top priority—especially with Mohamed Salah's impending departure leaving a massive void to fill.
Now, Liverpool have finally received a clearer picture of what it will take to land one of their most persistent transfer targets. Anthony Gordon, the dynamic Newcastle winger, has been on Liverpool's radar for years, even before his £55 million move from Everton to St. James' Park. His Premier League experience, versatility across the front line, and sharp eye for goal make him an ideal candidate to help fill the Salah-shaped gap.
According to Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg, Newcastle's initial asking price was a hefty €90 million, but the Magpies are now expected to settle for a fee in the region of €75-85 million, including bonuses. The report reveals that Liverpool, along with Barcelona and Arsenal, have been informed of these terms. However, Bayern Munich, who have also held talks with Newcastle, have already ruled themselves out at that price point, focusing instead on other candidates.
Gordon has been in impressive form for Newcastle this season, consistently delivering on the pitch. While other attackers at the club have struggled to meet expectations, the Englishman has stood out, making him the most likely candidate to be moved on. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has long praised Gordon's bravery and work rate, calling him a "brave" player who thrives under pressure—qualities that would fit perfectly into Liverpool's high-intensity system.
As the summer window approaches, all eyes are on Anfield to see if they can finally secure the deal that has been years in the making. For Liverpool fans, the prospect of adding a proven Premier League talent like Gordon to the squad is an exciting one, especially as the club looks to rebuild and reload for the challenges ahead.
