Newcastle braced for new Liverpool approach for key man | OneFootball

Liverpool could revisit their interest in Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, if Luis Diaz leaves the club this summer.

Diaz has been subject of an approach from Bayern Munich and is keen on the move to the Bundesliga champions. The German side are preparing an improved bid for the Colombian.

Should an exit materialise, Liverpool have been backed to reignite their interest in Gordon. The Reds explored a deal to sign the Liverpudlian last summer as Newcastle needed sales for their Premier League Profit and Sustainability compliance.

Gordon is a player that Liverpool admire and journalist Ben Jacobs has said it is one to watch. A potential move for the England international comes just days after Liverpool saw an approach for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak turned down.

Speaking to Liverpool streamer Grizz Khan on YouTube, Jacobs said: “There will be a chance, if the left side is being strengthened, that Liverpool revisit Anthony Gordon. That is another one to keep an eye on.

“Rodrygo, it is not that I’m not getting acknowledgement of appreciation from Liverpool, because I am, it’s just the idea that they’re in Madrid or negotiating or ready to bid, for now feels a bit premature. With Anthony Gordon it is more than that.

“12 months ago they had a deal in place to be done. Had Newcastle not sold Elliott Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton, they would have been in a PSR bind, and Gordon would have definitely got over the line because it was verbally lined up for I think about £75m.

“Suddenly Newcastle were able to pivot because they were reluctant sellers and they found the money another way.

“Given that was only 12 months ago, don’t just think about Rodrygo, if Diaz leaves, there may well be a possibility that a revisited approach for Anthony Gordon is made.”
