Liverpool will let £75m star agree Bayern Munich deal without a fight
Liverpool will let £75m star agree Bayern Munich deal without a fight Liverpool will allow one of their biggest transfer targets to agree a deal with Bayern Munich. They're not going to compete. Liverpool came very close to signing Anthony Gordon back in 2024.
Newcastle United needed money to meet Premier League PSR and were willing to sell one of their stars. However, moves for Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh materialised, calling off Liverpool's deal for Gordon. But that didn't stop either the Reds' interest of the player's interest in moving to his boyhood club.
Newcastle are now again in a position where they're looking to sell a star. Their season has been a disaster, really, going all the way back to the start of last summer and the Alexander Isak situation. So Gordon is arguably the most-likely exit.
The Athletic reports on Newcastle chasing £75m for him but, notably, Liverpool don't intend on entering the race. Instead, that race is led by Bayern Munich. They do hope to negotiate the asking price down, though it's thought Gordon is their main target right now.
Liverpool won't put up a fight, allowing Gordon to head elsewhere as they focus on other targets. Anthony Gordon: Situation Summary Newcastle Performance and Injury Update As of 28 April 2026, Anthony Gordon remains a pivotal yet frustrated figure at Newcastle United.
