Bayern Munich News: Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea all want Anthony Gordon; FC Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski heading for divorce?; and MORE!

The agents are making a lot of calls, a lot of meetings, around Europe.

There was a meeting with Chelsea, contact with Liverpool, contact with Arsenal… they’re allowed to do that, as they know Newcastle need the money this summer to keep on the right side of Financial Fair Play. Barcelona were offered the player, but they can’t afford the kind of transfer fee we’ve been talking about. Bayern, on the other hand, could pay this if they wish to.

So it’s getting interesting to see who’s joining the poker table. I’m personally more afraid of Chelsea, as they have the resources to make a deal happen. Not to mention, they could use Nicolas Jackson as a makeweight in a potential swap deal (and we know Newcastle are interested in the Senegal international).

But, I think Bayern Munich still have a good chance to get this deal done, as they were very early on the market for Gordon. They can also rely on fellow England international Harry Kane to tell the 25-year-old just how good life in Munich is! Chelsea is a serious threat, but Arsenal and Liverpool could also make strong appeals to the Englishman.
