Bayern’s preferred candidate: Kompany gives his go-ahead for this transfer | OneFootball

A potential top transfer at FC Bayern continues to gather pace – coach Vincent Kompany has apparently given the green light internally

FC Bayern are continuing to work intensively on their squad planning for the coming season – and one name in particular is in the spotlight: Anthony Gordon. The Newcastle United attacker is considered one of the top candidates to strengthen the left flank

As reported by Sky, coach Vincent Kompany has already agreed to the potential transfer. According to the report, the Belgian is in favor of a move for the England international and sees him as a suitable addition to Munich’s attacking play

According to the report, talks are already underway with the player’s entourage in order to define the framework conditions for a possible transfer

However, no direct exchange between FC Bayern and Newcastle United has yet taken place, although those responsible at Säbener Straße are continuing to press ahead with talks in the background

It had already become clear in recent weeks that Gordon would play a central role in Bayern’s transfer plans. The 25-year-old has exactly the profile they are looking for: pace, goal threat and flexibility in attack

The fact that Kompany has now expressly agreed to the transfer underlines the importance of the player for his sporting plans. The coach wants to strengthen the attack in a targeted manner – particularly on the left wing, where additional quality and competition are required

Gordon could not only act as a backup for Luis Diaz, but also open up new tactical possibilities. His versatility makes him particularly interesting for FC Bayern

However, the initial situation remains challenging. Newcastle do not really want to give up their top performer, and Gordon is still under contract until 2030. A potential transfer fee is likely to be correspondingly high

With Kompany’s agreement, an important step has been taken. FC Bayern are serious in their pursuit of Gordon – and could further concretize the transfer in the coming weeks.
