Liverpool were informed they may be able to most probably beat Bayern Munich to the switch of Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon this summer time.

Bayern don’t seem like they urgently want any other attacking signing, however Gordon has been in high quality shape so may well be tempting if the chance arises for an inexpensive rate.
For now, on the other hand, Liverpool were tipped as being in a greater monetary place for this deal, whilst Falk additionally famous that the 25-year-old has an affinity to the Reds as he comes from a circle of relatives of LFC supporters.
Christian Falk on Anthony Gordon switch
“It is TRUE: Anthony Gordon is highly-rated on Bayern’s shortlist,” Falk mentioned. “Now, there will be talks about money, so it’s very concrete!
“Gordon signalled that he could make a move to the Bundesliga, so I think perhaps this is partly Harry Kane’s doing. Normally, English national players rarely come to the German top-flight.
“That all said, the transfer fee Newcastle end up demanding for the winger could harm Bayern’s hopes of signing Anthony Gordon. There were many rumours of an €80m [£69.3m] fee. The Times now suggest it’s actually closer to €75m [£65m]. I think this would be too expensive for Bayern Munich.
“Of course, there’s always the possibility that if Anthony Gordon pushes for a move to Bayern and Bayern only, then perhaps Newcastle could be encouraged to lower the asking price. As things stand, Bayern Munich are in a good place with Luis Diaz, Harry Kane and Michael Olise, and with Jamal Musiala behind them. These are all positions Gordon can play, although he would be another option, so spending too much money would be difficult for FC Bayern.”
He added: “It’s true that Gordon’s prior relationship with, and affinity for, Liverpool Football Club could be a problem for Bayern Munich.
Liverpool are still one of the top clubs in Europe and they have a lot of money to spend. By contrast, Bayern don’t want to spend so much money this summer. If they can’t get an agreement with Newcastle and Liverpool are able to put more money on the table than Bayern Munich, then you can understand why the Magpies would argue they shouldn’t sell Gordon cheaply to Munich when they can get more money from Liverpool. This could be a problem.”
Liverpool want Anthony Gordon greater than Bayern
Liverpool obviously have the larger problems in assault presently, so it sort of feels a transfer to Anfield makes extra sense for everybody concerned.
In fact, Newcastle gained’t be in any respect prepared to promote the England global, particularly after additionally in the end having to let big name participant Alexander Isak transfer to Anfield final yr.
