Anthony Gordon to Bayern Munich transfer latest as Eddie Howe makes Newcastle admission | OneFootball

Bayern have reportedly opened talks with Newcastle

Gordon joined Newcastle in January 2023 from Premier League rivals Everton in a total package worth £45million.

However, after scoring 39 goals in 152 games for the Magpies, it would appear that the England international has already played his final game for the club.

Amid reports that Bayern have opened talks with Newcastle for a Gordon summer transfer, Howe has admitted the forward is unlikely to feature against West Ham or Fulham due to speculation surrounding his future.

"Anthony's just come back from injury. I think the team has played well in his absence and with a partial view to the future, yes.

“No, nothing, no updates from me. These are discussions that potentially might be happening, but not with me."

While Gordon has struggled to impress domestically, but performances on the European stage this season - having scored 10 goals in 12 Champions League games - appear to have impressed Bayern amid talk of a £55million bid.

That fee is unlikely to convince Newcastle to part ways with a key player who still has four years to run on his contract - a figure closer to £75m has been suggested by other outlets.

Gordon could be the direct replacement for Nicolas Jackson, with the Senegal international set to return to Chelsea following a loan spell.

“We will not trigger the option for Nicolas Jackson,” Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl confirmed to Sky Germany last month.
