Liverpool are reportedly in the lead to sign England international Anthony Gordon this summer if Newcastle United opt to cash in on the former Everton forward, according to reporting by The Mirror, but he will cost some serious money.
Gordon, 24, has emerged as one of Newcastle’s standout performers since joining from Everton in January 2023. The left‑winger has been a key attacking threat for the Magpies, contributing double‑figure goals and assists in Premier League competition and earning international recognition with England.
*LIVERPOOL*’s interest in the winger has resurfaced in recent weeks, with several outlets suggesting Anfield could be his destination should Newcastle decide to entertain offers.
Reports indicate that Liverpool are currently “in pole position” in the race for Gordon, ahead of rival Premier League clubs including Arsenal FC. Sources close to the discussions claim that Newcastle would only consider selling Gordon for an offer in the region of £85 million to £95 million — a valuation that reflects the player’s status as one of the league’s most prolific wide attackers.
Newcastle United, however, are not expected to make a decision lightly. The club recently secured Gordon on a long‑term contract that runs until 2030, underlining their intent to build around him as part of Eddie Howe’s long‑term strategy.
With the winger tied down to a lengthy deal, Newcastle hold significant leverage in any negotiations and are likely to demand a substantial fee reflective of his importance to the squad.
Gordon’s affinity with *LIVERPOOL*— he is known to be a lifelong supporter of the club — adds an intriguing element to the speculation. Previous reports have suggested that a move to Anfield was close to happening in a prior transfer window before Newcastle opted to retain key personnel.
Should Liverpool firm up their interest this summer and match Newcastle’s valuation, the winger could once again find himself at the centre of transfer discussions.
For LIVERPOOL, securing a player of Gordon’s profile would bolster their attacking options as they aim to maintain competitiveness across domestic and European competitions. Whether they proceed with a formal bid will depend on negotiations with Newcastle, financial considerations, and the club’s recruitment strategy heading into the summer window.
No official bids have been confirmed, and both clubs are expected to assess their positions as the campaign progresses. Further developments are anticipated as speculation continues into the summer transfer period.
