Liverpool are reportedly considering making another big money move, this time for a player from a Premier League rival.

The Reds have already been very active this summer, agreeing a record-breaking deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

The Germany star will complete a switch to the Premier League champions for a club-record £100m, which could rise to a British-record £116m, after turning down Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Arne Slot's side have already signed Valencia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili for £29m and Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5m.

And they have now set their sights on a high-profile winger, according to The Sun.

Newcastle star Anthony Gordon is said to be high on their wishlist following talks last summer.

The Magpies were in a bad financial situation back then but find themselves in better shape after securing Champions League football next term.

Gordon is a boyhood Liverpool fan and a move to the team he grew up supporting may be enticing, especially after a season in which they ran away with the title.

He signed a new contract last October and managed six goal and six assists in the top flight in the 2024-25 campaign.

The interest in 24-year-old Gordon comes with uncertainty over the future of Luis Diaz.

The Colombian says he is happy at Anfield but revealed he could explore other opportunities this summer — with interest from LaLiga giants Barcelona.

While team-mate Darwin Nunez appears certain to depart with interest from Atletico Madrid and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
