Bayern Munich and Newcastle United at impasse over Anthony Gordon transfer | OneFootball

Bayern Munich have hit a significant roadblock in their pursuit of Anthony Gordon.

The German giants are reportedly unwilling to pay what Newcastle United are demanding for the winger.

Despite Vincent Kompany identifying the England international as a priority signing to freshen up his attacking options, a substantial valuation gap remains between Newcastle and Bayern.

Newcastle have placed a €92 million (£80m) price tag on the 25-year-old, who is under contract at St James’ Park until 2030.

Negotiations are further complicated by a 15 percent sell-on clause owed to Everton.

This obliges Newcastle to maintain a high asking price to ensure a viable profit for reinvestment, leaving them with little room for compromise.

Bayern are reluctant to sanction another major outlay following several transfer windows of heavy spending.

Their hesitation is rooted in a strict ‘no-debt’ transfer policy, recently reiterated by president Uli Hoeness.

On the pitch, Gordon’s profile justifies the interest. He has recorded 17 goals and five assists this season, and his work rate perfectly suits Kompany’s high-pressing system.

While the winger is reportedly open to a fresh challenge, Newcastle are in a position of strength.

Unless Bayern bridge the current valuation gap, they risk losing out on Gordon to other interested Premier League rivals. Alternatively, he could remain with Newcastle.
