Liverpool have been told it would take an offer of £75-80million to sign Anthony Gordon this summer amid renewed interest in his services.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed what sources have told him about the Reds’ efforts to sign the 24-year-old.
Newcastle remain determined to keep hold of their star man, and it would take a “huge” fee to persuade them to sell while the deal has been described as “difficult”.
This comes after Football Insider exclusively revealed on 22 May that Gordon is still on Arne Slot’s radar as Liverpool are prepared to reignite their interest.
Meanwhile, former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Newcastle could accept offers for Gordon to boost their finances.
However, sources say the Magpies’ qualification for the Champions League has strengthened their PSR situation and they will be under no pressure to sell their key players.

Liverpool plot new move to sign Anthony Gordon
Gordon came very close to joining Liverpool last summer when Newcastle were forced to consider selling to improve their financial situation.
More recently, Luis Diaz has been linked with a move away from Anfield, and there is a growing belief that the England international is the top target to replace him if he is sold.
O’Rourke explained that the Reds have kept a close eye on the winger’s performances this season and could make a move if the opportunity arrives.
“*It’s a move that would be dependent on a lot of factors,*” he told Football Insider.
“If Luis Diaz was to leave Liverpool, whether it’s to Barcelona, the Saudi Pro League or somewhere else, they will be in the market for a left-winger.
“Anthony Gordon came very close to joining Liverpool last summer when Newcastle were being forced to sell some players because of PSR regulations.
“Liverpool have been keeping tabs on Gordon and remain interested in him.
“Newcastle, ideally, do not want to lose him as he’s a key man in Eddie Howe’s side.
“He signed a long-term deal last October after all that speculation over his future, so to convince Newcastle to sell you’d be looking at £75-80million.
“It looks a difficult deal to do, it will take a huge fee to persuade them to sell.
“With Champions League football, their PSR situation is looking a lot healthier and they’re under no real pressure to sell their prized assets.”

Rafael Leao update emerges at Anfield
Gordon is not the only left-sided winger who has been linked with a move to Anfield this summer, amid speculation surrounding AC Milan star Rafael Leao.
Brown told Football Insider on 10 June that Liverpool scouts have been tracking Leao as a result of the uncertainty about Diaz’s future.
The 26-year-old is a target for a number of Premier League clubs amid growing speculation that he could be set to leave Milan for “big money” this summer.
This comes after Brown told Football Insider on 18 May that Arsenal are interested in signing Leao and will make a move if Gabriel Martinelli is sold during the transfer window.
