Bayern Munich ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal in race for £75m forward

Liverpool and Arsenal are interested in signing Anthony Gordon this summer.

But Bayern Munich are currently leading the transfer race for the 25-year-old.

According to The Times, Gordon is open to joining the Bundesliga giants.

But a transfer fee could be a major stumbling block as Newcastle value the forward at £75 million.

Bayern’s initial valuation is believed to be about £55m, but that is not acceptable for the Magpies.

Arsenal have long admired Gordon, and he has featured in recruitment planning meetings.

They are in the market for a player to compete with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard on the left flank.

Liverpool came close to signing Gordon in 2024, but a transfer didn’t materialise in the end.

The England international signed a new contract until 2030 after his move to Anfield fell through.

Gordon has been a key first-team player for Newcastle, making 152 appearances across all competitions and scoring 39 goals.
