Liverpool create 'problem' in massive €75m transfer talks

At the same time, Liverpool have also been linked with Gordon and did entertain a move in 2024. He's a homegrown player, too, and so there's plenty of value in moving for him.

Time will tell, then. Bayern will cross their fingers and hope Liverpool don't get involved but until it's clear they won't, this one will rumble on.

Anthony Gordon: Situation Summary

Newcastle Performance and Injury Update

As of 24 April 2026, Anthony Gordon is a key figure for Newcastle United, though his season has been interrupted by a hip flexor injury. The 25-year-old winger has been in prolific form, tallying 18 goals for club and country this term. However, he missed the recent defeat to Bournemouth and has been ruled out of this weekend’s clash against Arsenal after failing late fitness tests. While manager Eddie Howe initially faced fan scepticism regarding Gordon’s commitment, scans have confirmed the injury is genuine, though not long-term.

Transfer Speculation

Gordon’s future at St James' Park is increasingly uncertain. Reports from late April suggest he believes he has "outgrown" the club and desires Champions League football. Bayern Munich have reportedly placed him on a "concrete" transfer shortlist, though Newcastle’s £65–80 million asking price may prove a sticking point. Liverpool and Arsenal remain heavily linked, with Gordon reportedly eager to resolve his future before the summer.

Under Thomas Tuchel, Gordon has become a mainstay for England, frequently starting on the left wing. With over 20 goal contributions this season, he is considered a certainty for the 2026 World Cup squad this June.
