But more and more reports from (fairly) reputed outlets have since come out, confirming the Bavarians’ interest in the Newcastle United winger.

But why? Bild reporters Christian Falk and Julian Agardi, as captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER , explain Bayern’s interest: The idea with Anthony Gordon: he can play so many positions that he wouldn’t just be a pure Luis Díaz backup, but could also play as a center forward or right winger. Newcastle want £80 million (€92 million) for him.

Bayern expects a price tag of around €60 million. Bayern truly could use a versatile forward that can play all positions at a high level. But, as the report above indicates, the money involved with the transfer could prove to be problematic.

Sky Germany reporter Philipp Hinze, as captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER , goes into further detail: Anthony Gordon is open and ready for a summer transfer. Newcastle wants to keep him but also needs revenue. A realistic price is currently €60-70 million.
