Just how much Uli Hoeneß and Co. are prepared to bend around £80m, of course, remains to be seen.

Where would Gordon rank among Bayern’s most expensive transfers?

Assuming that FC Bayern were to sanction an £80m transfer outlay for Anthony Gordon, it would place the England international as the club’s second-most expensive transfer of all-time.

To put that into perspective, it would represent a significantly higher figure than what the Bundesliga leaders paid for Michael Olise (£47.4m) from Crystal Palace.

While Vincent Kompany’s men are responsible for some notable developmental work, you’d be hard-pressed to say that Gordon is of a comparable level to his Bayern counterpart.

But still, this is often the reality of purchases from the Premier League. Quality, but often for an extremely inflated price.

If we’re looking at the Newcastle attacker as purely cover for Luis Diaz, there’s surely better value to be found elsewhere.

However, the clear advantage with Anthony Gordon remains his positional versatility.

And if Bayern Munich can maximise this Premier League asset as they have Kane, Olise and Luis Diaz, he could be well worth every penny.
