We know that Bayern would be keen on bringing Anthony Gordon to Munich this summer if possible.

However, ultimately, they will be prepared to consider cheaper alternatives. Even if it means the Bavarians can only bring in an out-and-out left-sided winger as backup to Luis Diaz, instead of a versatile attacking option.

Gordon may have to push for Bayern move

Christian Falk went on to add: “Of course, there’s always the possibility that if Anthony Gordon pushes for a move to Bayern and Bayern only, then perhaps Newcastle could be encouraged to lower the asking price.

“As things stand, Bayern Munich are in a good place with Luis Diaz, Harry Kane and Michael Olise, and with Jamal Musiala behind them. These are all positions Gordon can play, although he would be another option, so spending too much money would be difficult for FC Bayern.”

Signing Gordon would afford Vincent Kompany and his coaching staff a great deal of wiggle room with the starting-XI options.

However, if push came to shove, it shouldn’t be forgotten that Bayern Munich have, perhaps, the strongest forward line in Europe.

The England international would no doubt improve matters in Munich.

But it’s not necessarily the end of the world if Bayern’s recruitment team is instead forced to pursue options they’d need to spend time developing.
