Newcastle star wanted by two European giants ahead of summer transfer window

  • Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon is attracting significant transfer interest from European giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich, with both clubs in discussions with the Tyneside club.
  • Gordon, who joined Newcastle from Everton for £45 million in January 2023, is now rumoured to be valued around £75 million, with Liverpool also identified as long-term admirers.
  • He has been a pivotal figure in Newcastle's recent success, contributing to their historic 2024-25 Carabao Cup triumph and Champions League qualification, scoring 17 goals this season, including 10 in the Champions League.
  • Despite his strong performance, his influence has waned amid ongoing transfer speculation, leading to his omission from the starting XI by head coach Eddie Howe, signalling a potential impending departure.
