Newcastle United are gearing up for a major summer transfer window, and they're feeling confident that Anthony Gordon will be the headline act. The Magpies believe they can secure a fee north of £75 million for the electric winger, with top clubs across Europe already circling.
Gordon, 25, is eager to explore his options this summer, especially with Newcastle likely to miss out on European football next season. That's sparked a flurry of interest from some of the biggest names in the game.
Bayern Munich have emerged as serious contenders. Reports suggest the Bundesliga giants have reached a 'broad agreement' with Gordon on personal terms. But here's the catch—the two clubs are still far apart on the transfer fee. Journalist Ben Jacobs describes the gap as a 'gulf,' yet Newcastle remain bullish that their valuation will eventually be met.
And it's not just Bayern. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea are all keeping a close eye on the England international. With so many suitors, Newcastle hold all the cards in negotiations.
Gordon has been nothing short of sensational this season. He's bagged 17 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions, with his Champions League form catching the eye—his 10 goals in the competition trail only Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane. That's elite company, and it explains why the price tag is so high.
Since arriving from Everton in a £40 million deal back in January 2023, Gordon has made 152 appearances for Newcastle. And here's a twist for the Toffees: Everton have a 15% sell-on clause on any profit Newcastle make. So if the Magpies get their £75 million-plus fee, Goodison Park will be smiling too.
For now, all eyes are on the summer window—and Anthony Gordon is shaping up to be one of its biggest stories.
