Massive hint that Liverpool's blockbuster €100m deal is happening
It's the biggest hint yet that Liverpool's massive €100m transfer is going to happen.
Liverpool want a new winger this summer and that desire should fuel their biggest transfer. Perhaps one that rivals the kind of money paid for Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak in 2025.
Certainly, it shouldn't be a shock if Liverpool were to pay a nine-figure Euro sum once again. That's the kind of money you need to spend if you're to come close to replacing Mo Salah's output in attack.
But who? There have been plenty of names linked with the Reds but we're now got the biggest clue so far as to who they plan on signing.
And that clue comes from who won't join Liverpool. The Athletic reports that the Reds will not pursue Anthony Gordon this summer despite his availability from Newcastle United.
Gordon is, in a lot of ways, the ideal target. He's a boyhood Red who offers fantastic pace on the flank, is proven in the Premier League, and ticks the homegrown box.
Liverpool disregarding him as an option points to a belief they will sign someone else. After all, you don't rule out a target as good as Gordon unless you're confident about signing a better option.
