Bayern have opened talks with Newcastle about winger Anthony Gordon. The Magpies are willing to listen, and the England international appears keen to explore options. Bayern and Newcastle enjoy a solid relationship, with the German side tracking the 25‑year‑old since early this year. Gordon, third‑top scorer in this season’s Champions League, had his agents spotted in Barcelona, though no formal club contact yet.

Gordon signed for £45m in January 2023 and has four years left on his deal. He netted 18 league goals this season, reinforcing his value. Reports link interest from Arsenal and a failed Liverpool bid earlier. Newcastle may need to sell to fund big purchases; the club’s CEO hinted that a sale could free cash. Estimates put a potential fee at £75m‑£80m, roughly double the price paid.

If he departs, Bayern would add a versatile left‑footed attacker to a line‑up already featuring Kane, Olise and Diaz, guaranteeing regular Champions League football. Newcastle fans might prefer a Bundesliga exit to a domestic rival. The fee would give Newcastle flexibility to chase replacements and squad depth. Gordon remains professional for the final games, leaving his future in the clubs’ negotiations.
