Gordon-Poker: Newcastle hope for a quick agreement with Bayern | OneFootball

Anthony Gordon has been a candidate for FC Bayern for weeks and now the transfer poker for the Englishman could pick up speed

There are growing signs that Anthony Gordon and Newcastle United are on the verge of parting company. Good for FC Bayern, who are working hard to reorganize their attack for the coming season. In view of the scarcity of playing time in recent weeks, Newcastle United also seem to be hoping for a quick solution. It has already been over a month since his last appearance

Gordon also had to take a seat on the bench on the last matchday of the Premier League. Newcastle want planning certainty as early as possible – and ideally, speed in the poker game. As the local newspaper Chronicle reports, the Magpies want to get a deal done before the World Cup

From Bayern’s point of view, the timing is perfect: the record champions have been looking for additional quality in attack for weeks and have identified Gordon internally as one of their preferred candidates

Head of Sport Max Eberl has already confirmed talks with the player. Eberl first explained the basic transfer strategy to BILD: „We are in agreement that we will sign an attacking player if he is affordable.“

When asked about Gordon, the Bayern boss also made it clear: „We had a very good discussion and hope that we are making progress.“ These statements are a clear signal. According to information from England, Gordon himself can also very well imagine a move to Munich. The prospect of playing alongside compatriot Harry Kane and competing for titles is said to appeal to the 25-year-old

However, the two clubs are still separated by the transfer fee, with Newcastle demanding around 75 million pounds – a sum that is also set high because part of the profit would go to former club Everton in the event of a sell-on. Nevertheless, optimism prevails in Munich, where there is said to be hope internally that the price can still be lowered and a package in the region of 65 million pounds plus bonus payments can be negotiated in the end.
