Bayern Munich is reportedly making strides to acquire Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon, as direct negotiations between the two clubs have commenced, according to Sky Sports. The discussions center around a potential summer transfer for the 25-year-old English player.
Gordon is attracting attention from multiple top European clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona. However, Bayern Munich is seen as the leading contender to secure his services.
In addition, sources indicate that Gordon is open to leaving Newcastle at the end of the current season. The club’s management faces financial pressure and may be compelled to part with one of their key players to adhere to financial fair play regulations.
Newcastle has valued Gordon at approximately £75 million, but Bayern Munich is aiming to negotiate a lower price, reportedly willing to offer around £55 million for the winger.
