Transfer failure looms! Bayern rival makes mega-bid for Gordon | OneFootball

Anthony Gordon is considered the player of choice for FC Bayern in the summer. However, the Englishman from Newcastle United will not come cheap. And there is increasing competition for the record champions

Liverpool FC recently expressed an interest and put him on their shortlist. The Reds are looking for a player who can replace Mohamed Salah in the summer and have Gordon on their list alongside Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig

Bayern are capable of keeping up with European heavyweights when it comes to the transfer market, but it is of course also important that the price matches FC Bayern’s expectations. That has been an issue with Gordon from the outset

FC Barcelona puts pressure on Gordon

Newcastle United are demanding around 80 million euros for the player. Gordon has a certain value for the Magpies and it currently looks as if this will be a sticking point for all interested parties. According to various media reports, including The Athletic and Sky, FC Barcelona are now also said to have expressed an interest in Gordon

According to these reports, the Catalans are piling on the pressure and are said to be in pole position at the moment. Sports director Deco in particular is very keen to convince the Englishman in the near future and is even said to have already reached an agreement in principle. Incidentally, this is also precisely the point that FC Bayern immediately emphasized when they made contact

The record champions also had the plan to reach an agreement with Gordon as soon as possible so that they could beat other interested parties to it. Although it is assumed that the personal component is not a major issue in the talks, a competitor is now also negotiating intensively with the player and has good arguments on his side

According to The Athletic, there is now an official offer of 80 million euros plus bonuses, which would largely meet Newcastle’s demands, especially if the payment terms are right. Bayern are still Barca’s main rivals, however, and no agreement has yet been reached with Newcastle.
