According to Sky, Bayern have identified Gordon as their “dream candidate” to reinforce the club’s attacking options. The Newcastle winger has impressed scouts in Bavaria following a strong 2025-26 campaign. Gordon joined Newcastle from Everton in January 2023 for more than €45 million (£38m) and has since developed into one of the most dangerous wide players in England. Bayern's recruitment team believes his direct playing style and pace would add a new dimension to their forward line.
Initial discussions have already taken place between Bayern representatives and Gordon’s camp. Kompany is eager to recruit a versatile attacker capable of operating in multiple forward positions, and the England international is viewed as an ideal competitor for Diaz.
