Kane, Olise, Díaz as role models: Why Gordon wants to join Bayern | OneFootball

FC Bayern have become one of the most attractive destinations for Premier League players in recent years – and Anthony Gordon could be the next big name to follow suit

The England international from Newcastle United is at the top of Munich’s wish list and there are growing signs that a transfer in the summer could be a realistic prospect

With 17 goals and five assists in 46 competitive games, Gordon is having an outstanding season and has become a fixture in Newcastle’s attacking play. The 25-year-old has been particularly impressive on the international stage and is one of the most effective attackers in the Champions League

For FC Bayern, his profile is particularly important: Gordon is flexible and can play on both wings, in the center or as a hanging midfielder – exactly the kind of player who fits perfectly into Vincent Kompany’s variable offensive system

The potential transfer would not be an isolated case: Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Díaz are just a few of the top players from England who have made the move to Munich in recent transfer windows – and been rewarded for it

All three have not only continued their sporting development at the record champions, but have also won titles. It is precisely this mix of individual development and sporting success that makes FC Bayern particularly interesting for players like Gordon

Bayern apparently the favorite in the transfer poker

FCB also appear to have a strong hand in the race for Gordon. According to consistent media reports, the player is open to a move to Munich. Newcastle, on the other hand, are said to be prepared to let the attacking star go if a suitable offer is made

The asking transfer fee is said to be around 75 million pounds, the equivalent of around 86 million euros, a sum that is high for Bayern but not unrealistic – especially for a player who can help immediately

A transfer of Gordon would be more than just a sporting boost; it would underline once again that FC Bayern can also keep up with the international competition for top players – despite the financial superiority of some Premier League clubs

The fact that the Munich club remains competitive is primarily down to its strategy: while other clubs invest huge sums, Bayern focuses more specifically on sustainable transfers – with an eye on the present and the future

Whether Gordon will actually become the next big Premier League transfer remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: FC Bayern has long since established itself as a genuine alternative to England’s top clubs – and that could make the difference again in the summer.
