Bayern Munich are already shaping their summer transfer strategy—and Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon has emerged as a key target.
According to reports from Germany, the Bavarian giants are leading the race to sign the England international as they look to strengthen their attack for the third consecutive year. Talks have reportedly already taken place between Bayern officials and Gordon’s representatives, although no formal approach has yet been made to Newcastle.
Bayern Ready to Go Big
Bayern’s interest in Gordon is far from casual. The club are believed to be willing to spend between €60–70 million to secure his signature, underlining how highly he is rated internally.
Seen as both immediate competition and a long-term successor to Luis Diaz, Gordon fits the profile Bayern are targeting—young, explosive, and versatile in attack. Manager Vincent Kompany is said to value players who can operate across multiple forward roles, something Gordon has demonstrated this season.
Newcastle Reluctant to Sell
Despite Bayern’s interest, Newcastle United are in no rush to part ways with one of their most important players. Gordon still has four years remaining on his contract, and the club are expected to demand a significant fee if negotiations begin.
Having signed him from Everton in 2023 for a deal worth over €45 million, Newcastle would likely push for a profit—especially given his growing influence and importance to the squad.
However, uncertainty surrounding European qualification could play a role. Missing out on continental football may force difficult decisions, both for the club and the player.
Gordon’s Rise Continues
Anthony Gordon has been one of Newcastle’s standout performers, particularly in a challenging campaign. The winger has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, including an impressive 10 in the Champions League—placing him among Europe’s most productive attackers.
After a slow start, Gordon has found form in recent weeks, scoring three goals in his last four matches. His adaptability has also been on display, stepping into a central striker role when needed and delivering solid performances.
His most productive domestic season came in 2023/24, where he recorded double figures for both goals and assists. While he hasn’t quite matched those numbers this year, his overall development continues to attract elite attention.
A Long-Standing Interest
Bayern’s admiration for Gordon is not new. The German champions have reportedly tracked him since his teenage years, and this summer could present the perfect opportunity to finally make their move.
With Bayern pushing to maintain their dominance in Germany and reclaim European glory, adding a player of Gordon’s calibre could be a major statement signing.
Whether Newcastle can resist the pressure—or whether Gordon is tempted by a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs—could become one of the defining transfer stories of the summer.
