Newcastle star Anthony Gordon finds himself in a state of uncertainty as rumors of interest from Liverpool persist, with reports indicating that the Magpies are preparing for his potential departure.
The England international, who has a deep-rooted love for his boyhood club Liverpool, would reportedly leap at the chance to join the Reds if the opportunity arises. After a controversial exit from Everton last year, concerns have arisen among some senior figures at Newcastle that Gordon may be inclined to make a similar move away from St James’ Park.
Prior to a deadline that forced Newcastle to offload players, Liverpool had agreed on a deal to acquire Gordon for £75m, with Joe Gomez moving in the opposite direction for £45m. However, the transfer fell through at the last minute, with Newcastle opting to sell other players instead.
Sources suggest that Liverpool may make another offer for Gordon in the near future, prompting Newcastle to line up potential replacements for the talented winger. Reports indicate that West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen could be targets for Newcastle if Gordon moves to Liverpool.
Meanwhile, West Ham themselves are focused on their own ambitions for the upcoming season, having made significant signings under new manager Julen Lopetegui. However, Newcastle could test their resolve by making bids for Kudus and Bowen if Gordon’s departure materializes.
In addition, Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez has expressed a desire to move to the Premier League, with Newcastle among the clubs interested in acquiring the Argentinian international. With uncertainty surrounding Gordon’s future, Gonzalez may prove to be a more realistic signing for Newcastle at this point.
