Newcastle United have made their stance clear ahead of the summer transfer window: no player is untouchable—but none will be sold cheaply.
Anthony Gordon has emerged as the latest Magpies star attracting serious interest, with Bayern Munich reportedly considering a move for the England international as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
The 25-year-old has been a standout performer this season, scoring 17 goals across all competitions while showcasing his versatility in both wide and central roles. His performances have not gone unnoticed, placing him firmly on the radar of several top clubs across Europe.
Despite the growing interest, Newcastle remain in a strong negotiating position. Gordon is under contract at St James’ Park until 2030, giving the club significant control over his future. As a result, any potential suitor will need to meet a hefty valuation—believed to be around £100 million—to even open discussions.
The club’s firm approach stems from past experiences in the transfer market. Newcastle are determined to avoid a repeat of previous disruptive sagas, where prolonged uncertainty surrounding key players impacted squad stability and planning.
While Bayern Munich are said to be monitoring Gordon closely, Newcastle would reportedly prefer to sell to an overseas club rather than strengthen domestic rivals such as Liverpool or Arsenal, both of whom have also been linked with the forward.
Importantly, there is currently no indication that Gordon is pushing for a move. However, the club acknowledges that player power can play a role in modern transfers, and situations can evolve quickly once formal interest materialises.
Gordon is not the only name under scrutiny. Teammates Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento are also considered potential candidates for departure, as Newcastle prepare for what could be a pivotal summer of transition.
Manager Eddie Howe has already hinted at the possibility of a rebuild, suggesting that financial realities may shape the club’s strategy in the months ahead. Whether that includes the sale of key assets like Gordon will likely depend on both internal decisions and the scale of incoming offers.
For now, Newcastle hold firm. But with Bayern Munich circling and a nine-figure price tag set, the battle for Anthony Gordon could become one of the defining transfer stories of the summer.
