Anthony Gordon has emerged as one of the most sought-after wingers in European football. The 25-year-old England international is enjoying another standout season with Newcastle, confirming the explosive form he had hinted at in previous campaigns. His pace, ability to exploit space, aggressive pressing, and one-on-one dynamism have made him a game-changer for Eddie Howe’s side. Furthermore, he has taken a decisive step forward in his finishing and offensive output, delivering a brilliant campaign in the Champions League as well.
Over the past year, Gordon has been one of Newcastle’s most influential players. He can operate on both flanks, though he primarily starts from the left, and excels at breaking lines with his dribbling while consistently creating advantages. His off-ball intensity and tactical discipline have also earned him a larger role in the England national team.
Gordon’s standout performances in Europe have not gone unnoticed, with several top clubs monitoring his progress for months. Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool have all been linked to the English winger in various reports from England and Germany.
At Barcelona, Gordon’s name has been on the table for some time. The Catalan club is looking to strengthen the left-wing position and believes the Englishman fits Hansi Flick’s tactical vision. His directness, work rate, and ability to beat defenders are highly valued internally. SPORT has previously reported contacts with his camp, and Deco has him among the candidates to boost the attack, though the main obstacle remains Newcastle’s steep asking price.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich has already taken concrete steps. According to Sky Sports, the Bavarian side has opened negotiations with Newcastle to try to secure Gordon’s signing this summer. The German club sees signing a winger as a priority and considers the England international a key piece for their new sporting project.
Newcastle is willing to listen to offers but will not make his departure easy. The English club values the player at around £75 million, which translates to between €85 million and €90 million depending on the source. Bayern considers this valuation excessive and aims to lower the final price in talks that have just begun.
