Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon is emerging as a top target for a number of clubs and one of them have finally started making their moves to sign him.
According to Sky Sports journalist Keith Downie, German titans Bayern Munich have officially opened club-to-club talks with the Magpies regarding a blockbuster summer move for the 25-year-old England international Gordon.
With Gordon reportedly keen to explore his options ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, Newcastle’s hierarchy has signaled a willingness to listen to lucrative offers, setting the stage for a high-stakes bidding war.
While Bayern Munich have made the first formal move, prising Gordon away from St. James’ Park will require a monumental financial package.
Newcastle United are set to demand a premium fee
Additional reports from Germany, including updates from Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, indicate that Newcastle’s opening demands hover around the €90 million mark.
Realistically, a compromise could be reached in the region of €75 million to €85 million (including performance-related add-ons).
For Newcastle, securing such a substantial fee would dramatically alleviate any lingering Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) concerns, potentially funding multiple high-profile signing as they look to refresh Eddie Howe’s squad.
However, Bayern Munich are not the only heavyweight circling the dynamic forward. Arsenal have also identified Gordon as a top objective for the summer window.
Bayern Munich face competition from Arsenal
The Gunners are reportedly comfortable with a £75 million valuation of their own, eager to add his relentless pressing, pace, and direct attacking output to Mikel Arteta’s frontline.
This firm domestic interest heavily complicates Bayern’s pursuit, potentially forcing the Bavarians to accelerate their negotiations to avoid losing out to the North London side.
The German giants have taken notice of Gordon’s talent for a long time and they have finally made their move, ahead of other interested clubs.
There is a feeling at St. James’ Park that Gordon is ready to leave the club and explore a new opportunity in his career. At Bayern Munich, he can compete for the biggest honours in the game and take his career to the next level.
