Bayern have a major Anthony Gordon problem that will have Liverpool fans celebrating

There’s a growing expectation that the former Everton star could be one of several players to be sacrificed this summer, as Newcastle aim to stay on the right side of Financial Fair Play.

From Bayern’s perspective, this would be an incredibly astute piece of business.

Not only can Gordon provide cover for Luis Diaz, Harry Kane and Michael Olise, but the Englishman’s availability is similarly guaranteed across an entire season.

Since signing for Newcastle in the January window of 2023, the 25-year-old has only missed 17 games for club and country. That equates to only 4.25 games missed through illness or injury per season.

Bayern need to price Newcastle down

It feels like a perfect transfer for Vincent Kompany’s men – but the truth is that the price tag on the table is anything but.

**“That said, there could be a problem with the transfer fee Newcastle are looking for – especially if the Premier League club commits to a price tag of £80m [€92.6m]. At that point, it’s getting really, really difficult,”**Christian Falk went on to add.

“The supervisory board at Bayern Munich would say they were thinking in the region of £60m [€69.4m]. I think this wouldn’t be a problem. But £80m would be too much.

“£60m with add-ons, or even a deal that would see a fee paid in increments over time, would perhaps be doable. But if Newcastle want the full fee up front, then things are getting complicated.”

Indeed, if Bayern Munich can’t find a way to structure the deal in a favourable way, it surely opens the door for the likes of Liverpool to swoop in for Anthony Gordon.

And what a shame that would be for a Bayern forward line that is steadily approaching a state of perfection.
