Newcastle United are reportedly ready to sell Anthony Gordon in the summer transfer window.
Newcastle United have reportedly slapped a £75 million price tag on Anthony Gordon ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Magpies require some sales after a disappointing 2025-26 season. They are 14th in the Premier League and face missing out on European qualification completely.
Gordon is one of Newcastle’s assets that they could look to cash in on. The winger moved to St James’ Park in January 2023 from Everton for up to £45 million. In total, he has recorded 39 goals and 28 assists in 152 appearances, helping the Magpies end their 70-year wait for a major trophy when they won the Carabao Cup last season and twice qualifying for the Champions League.
Gordon has managed only six Premier League goals this term, but he bagged 10 times in 12 Champions League matches.
According to The Times, Newcastle are willing to sell Gordon, who is open to a departure, for £75 million. The 25-year-old missed the Magpies’ 2-1 loss to AFC Bournemouth last weekend after manager Eddie Howe admitted he would not pick players who were not giving 100 per cent in training. Newcastle said Gordon had a hip injury.
It is suggested that Bayern Munich are the current frontrunners although no official club-to-club contact has yet been made. Bayern have plundered England’s top flight to great effect, signing their front three of Harry Kane, Luis Diaz and Michael Olise from Tottenham, Liverpool and Crystal Palace respectively.
Liverpool came close to signing Gordon - a boyhood Red despite graduating through Everton’s academy - in the summer of 2024 while he was away with England at the European Championships. Newcastle required sales to meet Premier League profit and sustainability rules but opted to offload Elliott Anderson and Yankuba Minteh to Nottingham Forest and Brighton respectively.
The Reds are set to be in the market for at least one new winger this summer to replace Mo Salah, who will bring the curtain down on nine years at the club. Gordon would not fit the exact profile, though, as he prefers to operate on the left flank with Salah’s customary position on the right.
But Liverpool may look to add more competition for Cody Gakpo on the left-hand side. Rio Ngumoha has played a more prominent role in recent weeks but is still only aged 17. Gordon can also operate as a striker and Liverpool are set to be without Hugo Ekitike for potentially the rest of the year because of a ruptured Achilles.
Speaking on Gordon last year, England manager Thomas Tuchel said: “He is a direct player, I think this is his biggest strength, to go direct and go again and again. To have this repetition in his intensity. He just collects high intensity runs, he collects metres in sprints and this is so, so good.
“It’s important that he knows his strengths and plays exactly into his strengths. Now we play a high-press and he’s important against the ball.”
