Barça's main hurdle in the Anthony Gordon deal is the hefty price tag: Newcastle are reportedly holding out for an €85 million transfer fee for the 25-year-old. Bayern Munich, also tracking the Englishman, have been quoted the same figure.
The German record champions are also seeking a wide man who could offer genuine cover for Luis Diaz on the left. Yet, like Barça, Bayern are reluctant to meet that valuation. According to reports, the Bavarians first aim to secure a personal terms agreement with Gordon, using that as leverage to negotiate a lower transfer fee.
