With Luis Díaz, FC Bayern landed a real direct hit in the summer of 2025 – now the next transfer from the Premier League could follow. According to current reports, Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United is Munich’s absolute dream candidate for the left flank. And there are indeed some indications that a realistic opportunity could arise for the record champions in the summer
As reported by Sky, Bayern have already held initial talks with the player’s agent and have expressed their concrete interest. The 25-year-old Englishman fits the profile perfectly: explosive, strong on the dribble, capable of scoring goals. With 17 goals and five assists in 46 competitive games, Gordon is one of the most consistent attacking players this season
Financial fair play could play into Bayern’s hands
Newcastle are not actually interested in parting with their top performer. Gordon is still under contract until 2030 and there is no exit clause. Nevertheless, there could be movement in the personnel matter – for financial reasons
As transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reports, the Magpies are under pressure to reduce their squad costs due to the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play regulations. At the same time, Newcastle are at risk of missing out on international business, which would lead to a considerable loss of revenue
Should Newcastle be forced to sell one or more top players, Gordon is one of the most valuable assets in the squad. A transfer fee of around €60 million is on the table – a sum that FCB could in principle afford if they set their priorities accordingly
Olise as a trump card in the transfer poker?
In addition to the financial factors, a sporting aspect also plays a decisive role – and this could become a real advantage for Bayern. According to transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, Gordon is following Michael Olise’s development in Munich very closely
The Frenchman has developed into one of the best wingers in Europe at FCB in a very short space of time, and it is precisely this environment, these development prospects and the clear role in Vincent Kompany’s system that could be a decisive argument for Gordon
However, it is also clear that the competition is fierce, with several Premier League clubs also keeping a close eye on the situation. Moreover, talks are still at an early stage
Nevertheless, it is clear that FC Bayern has positioned itself early on – and could benefit from external factors. Should Newcastle actually have to sell in the summer, the way would suddenly be clear for a spectacular England transfer to Säbener Straße.
