From Premier League glory to edge of League One - Leicester's fall from grace
From Premier League Champions to League One: Leicester's Journey
Liverpool is reportedly set to compete with Bayern Munich for Newcastle's Anthony Gordon, who is open to a move to Germany. However, as a lifelong Liverpool fan, he may prefer a transfer to the Reds if they match Bayern's offer.
Newcastle United attacker Anthony Gordon has been very closely linked to Bayern Munich with absolutely no denials coming from Gordon, his camp, the Bavarians, or the Magpies. However, if Bayern Munich wants to get Gordon, it might have to outbid Liverpool FC:
Both Liverpool and Bayern Munich are stepping up their respective pursuits of Newcastle winger, Anthony Gordon, and TEAMtalk can reveal which team will win the race all being equal. Amid PSR pressure and a need to generate funds to re-invest on new signings, Newcastle are begrudgingly ready to cash in on one or two of their best players this summer.
Offers for the likes of Tino Livramento, Bruno Guimaraes, and Anthony Gordon are anticipated. Regarding the latter, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are both circling, and the latest from Sky Sports reporter, Sacha Tavolieri, has shed light on how the German giants see the situation.
Both Liverpool and Bayern Munich are pursuing Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.
Gordon is a lifelong Liverpool fan and has indicated he would prefer a move to Liverpool if they match Bayern's financial offer.
Newcastle United is under pressure to generate funds for reinvestment, leading them to consider selling key players like Anthony Gordon.
Last summer, Liverpool successfully signed Germany international Florian Wirtz, outbidding Bayern Munich for the player.

It’s claimed Gordon has ‘already informed those close to him that he would be open to a move to Bayern Munich’. Gordon reportedly sees parallels between he and Michael Olise who left a mid-table club for Bayern. Since arriving in Munich, Olise has taken his game to extraordinary new heights and is currently second-favourite to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or behind only Harry Kane.
But while that all makes rosy reading for Bayern, TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Fraser Fletcher, can reveal Liverpool’s take on the situation. Fletcher has been informed Gordon – who is a lifelong Liverpool fan and was on the Reds’ books before leaving for Everton aged 11 – would choose Liverpool over Bayern.
Of course, Liverpool sealing the deal is contingent on the Reds putting big money on the table, and at the very least coming close to the numbers Bayern will put forward. But it’s no secret Liverpool are in the market for one and more probably two new wingers in the summer. Mohamed Salah is leaving on a free and Federico Chiesa is primed to depart too.
Sources have told us Liverpool have made early contact with Gordon’s representatives and the messages they’re getting back are wholly positive. If Liverpool push the button and match or at least come close to matching Bayern’s proposals, the Gordon deal is there to be made. Just last summer Liverpool outmaneuvered Bayern Munich for Germany international Florian Wirtz. Will the Reds seek to stifle the Bavarians two summers in a row?
Despite some odd rumors to the contrary, neither Real Madrid, nor Manchester City are chasing Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović:
❌ It is NOT TRUE: Real Madrid and Manchester City made enquiries about Aleksandar Pavlović. Maybe Madrid would like to have him after he scored the first goal against them in the Champions League on Wednesday. But no, there has been no offer, no talks with the agent, and no talks with the club. Perhaps they and Pep Guardiola think he’s an interesting player, but he’s a Munich man. He loves Bayern Munich; he came up through the youth ranks.
I believe that behind Manuel Neuer, he’s spent the most time at the club. The 21-year-old is a young player but he was in the youth teams. He loves this club and I don’t think he’d leave at the moment, as FC Bayern are doing so well at the moment. They certainly have one of the best teams in Europe at the moment. Perhaps even the best team in Europe! He’s a big part of this side, so why should he leave?
Bayern Munich stars Harry Kane, Kim Min-jae, and Alphonso Davies were named to Kicker’s Bundesliga Team of the Week: Meanwhile, Davies and Nicolas Jackson were named to WhoScored.com’s Bundesliga Team of the Week:
Hertha Berlin starlet Kennet Eichhorn is high on Bayern Munich’s list for the central midfield in the summer transfer window, but Newcastle United could get in on the bidding:
Newcastle United are stepping up their efforts to secure one of Europe’s most exciting young talents, as TEAMtalk understands that they are pushing hard to win the race for Kennet Eichhorn.
Sources indicate that interest in Eichhorn is intense, with Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool all tracking his development closely.
However, TEAMtalk understands that Newcastle have made significant progress behind the scenes and are among the clubs pushing hardest to secure his signature.
German giants Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are also firmly in the mix and currently hold a key advantage.
Regulations mean Eichhorn cannot move to England until he turns 18 in 2027, opening the door for clubs in Germany to act sooner.
One of our great readers of BFW and listeners to BPW (@BiLLYd\_licious on X) alerted me to this and I actually laughed out loud:
FC Barcelona could be looking to bring Robert Lewandowski, but not at his current salary:
🚨🆕 Joan Laporta wants to extend Robert #Lewandowski’s contract until 2027. Reduced wages are being considered, but no concrete negotiations over figures have taken place yet – they are expected to follow soon. Personal terms are not an issue, given the excellent relationship between Laporta/Pini Zahavi/Lewy.
Chicago Fire have presented an interesting offer, clubs from Saudi Arabia and two top European clubs are also in the race. Decision soon. @SkySportDE Even at his age, Lewandowski would be a problem in MLS. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…*
