FC Bayern are fighting for Anthony Gordon in the transfer poker – but the competition from the Premier League is growing
FC Bayern are pressing ahead with their plans for the summer and have identified Anthony Gordon as a clear target player for the attack. But the record champions are now facing increasing competition from their home country in their bid to sign the England international
As TEAMtalk reports, Liverpool FC are looking closely at strengthening their attacking options – and Gordon is one of the players at the top of their list. This is due to the serious injury to Hugo Ekitiké, who is not expected to be fit again until 2027. The Reds are therefore keen to add to their ranks in the summer
Arsenal in pole position with Gordon?
But Liverpool are not the only ones in the poker game. According to The Sun, Arsenal FC currently have the best cards in the race for the winger. They say Gordon would prefer a move to London to other options
This development could become a problem for FC Bayern, who have already held talks with the player’s side, but the player’s decision is likely to play a key role
Bayern still interested – but under pressure
Bayern continue to see Gordon as an ideal solution for the left flank. The 25-year-old brings pace, goal threat and flexibility – and could both relieve Luis Diaz and open up additional options in attack
However, the situation is becoming increasingly complicated. In addition to the strong competition, Newcastle’s high transfer fee remains a decisive factor
The transfer poker for Gordon is coming to a head, and while several top clubs from England are intensifying their efforts, Bayern not only have to keep up financially – they also have to convince with their overall package.
