Report: Bayern Munich make first move to sign Newcastle United star Gordon to Bayern Talk Grows as Newcastle Face Valuation Standoff Bayern Interest Intensifies According to the Daily Mail , contact has now been made between Bayern Munich and Newcastle United over Anthony Gordon, with discussions expected to continue across the coming weeks. The sense emerging from Germany is that Bayern are positioning themselves at the front of the queue for the England winger, although negotiations are far from straightforward. Photo IMAGO The report states: “The winger’s camp will maintain dialogue with Newcastle in the coming weeks and the direction of travel is a summer move, with the Bundesliga champions at the front of the queue.

” For Newcastle, this feels like one of those defining transfer moments. Gordon has become central to the club’s attacking identity, bringing relentless running, directness and emotional edge to Eddie Howe’s side. Losing him would leave more than a tactical gap.

Valuation Gap Creates Complication The biggest obstacle appears to be money. Sources in Germany believe there is as much as a £20m difference between Bayern’s valuation and Newcastle’s asking price. That discrepancy matters, especially when Newcastle must also factor in Everton’s sell-on clause from the original 2023 transfer.

As clarified in the report: “Newcastle also have to consider Everton’s sell-on clause, which is 15 per cent of the profit. ” That distinction is significant. Everton are not entitled to 15 per cent of the full fee, only the profit above the £45m Newcastle originally paid.
