FC Bayern are apparently getting serious in their pursuit of Anthony Gordon. According to the latest reports, concrete negotiations are already underway with Newcastle United – including an initial offer from Munich
FC Bayern’s transfer efforts for Anthony Gordon are apparently becoming more and more concrete. Following recent reports of advanced talks with the player’s side, negotiations with Newcastle United are now also in full swing
As reported by Sky, sporting director Max Eberl and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen are now holding concrete talks with the English Premier League club
Bayern are said to have already signaled to Newcastle that they are prepared to make an initial offer of 60 million euros for Gordon
Newcastle demand significantly more
However, this sum is apparently not enough for the Magpies, who are still demanding up to 90 million euros for the England international, according to Sky
Negotiations between the two clubs are therefore still ongoing
This confirms the development that had already been hinted at in recent days. According to earlier reports, Gordon is regarded internally at FC Bayern as an absolute dream player for the attack
Vincent Kompany in particular is said to be convinced by the 25-year-old’s profile
Bayern already well on the way with Gordon
According to several media reports, Munich have already largely reached an agreement with the player. Gordon himself is said to be open to a move to the German record champions and can well imagine a move to Munich
In sporting terms, the Englishman fits perfectly into Bayern’s requirements profile: Gordon can be deployed flexibly in attack, but is particularly comfortable on the left wing
This is precisely where Munich are looking for additional quality and more competition for Luis Díaz
With his dynamism, pace and aggressive one-on-one play, Gordon has many qualities that could fit in perfectly with Vincent Kompany’s intense attacking style
Statistically, the Newcastle star is also one of the most striking attacking players in the Premier League, with Gordon scoring 17 goals and providing five assists in 46 competitive games so far this season
Supervisory board supports the transfer
Particularly interesting: According to earlier reports from the BILD podcast„Bayern Insider“, the Bayern supervisory board is also fully behind the potential transfer
According to the report, the club bosses want to support Max Eberl in getting the deal done in the summer
However, the biggest challenge remains the transfer fee. While Newcastle are currently insisting on up to 90 million euros, Bayern’s financial pain threshold is apparently much lower
FC Bayern is now getting serious about Anthony Gordon – and the transfer poker is already in full swing.
