Anthony Gordon linked with two European giants ahead of summer transfer window

  • Speculation is mounting over Anthony Gordon's future at Newcastle United, with European heavyweights Bayern Munich and Barcelona reportedly making fresh advances for the England international.
  • According to Sky Sports Germany, Bayern Munich have directly presented Gordon's representatives with terms for a five-year contract, though they are prepared to explore alternative targets if Newcastle's valuation does not decrease.
  • Barcelona's director of football, Deco, has reportedly held discussions with Gordon's agents, suggesting the Catalan club is in the market for new attacking talent.
  • Newcastle are reportedly holding out for a transfer fee in the region of £80 million for Gordon, a figure approximately double what they paid Everton in January 2023.
  • Gordon enjoyed a standout season in Europe, netting 10 times in the Champions League, and has earned 17 international caps for England, including being part of the Euro 2024 squad.
