FC Bayern are serious in their pursuit of Anthony Gordon – the attacking star already has concrete contract details
FC Bayern are pressing ahead with their transfer plans for the summer – and things appear to be getting more concrete for dream player Anthony Gordon. According to Sky, the England international now has all the relevant figures from Munich
According to the information, Gordon and his entourage know exactly what salary he could expect at FC Bayern and what a potential contract could look like. A five-year contract is being discussed, which would take effect should the 25-year-old decide to move and Bayern reach an agreement with Newcastle United
According to reports, Gordon is basically open to a change of club and can well imagine a new challenge – even outside the Premier League
This is precisely where Munich see their chance, as the winger is seen internally as the ideal solution to broaden their attack and, in particular, to create competition for Luis Diaz
However, the financial hurdle remains enormous, with Newcastle United continuing to demand a transfer fee in the region of 80 to 90 million euros – a sum that is viewed critically at Säbener Straße
Bayern has alternatives up its sleeve
Should Newcastle stick to this asking price, the transfer is in danger of falling through, in which case Bayern would be prepared to pull out of the poker game and turn to other options
This shows that despite the clear interest and the advanced talks with the player’s side, the potential deal is largely dependent on the transfer negotiations
However, it is also clear that FC Bayern still have their eye on Anthony Gordon as an absolute top solution – and have already taken the first decisive steps to achieve this.
