Anthony Gordon remains one of the most exciting transfer topics surrounding FC Bayern. But despite the Munich club’s concrete interest, there are currently many indications that a deal could only be concluded under certain conditions. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano now provides new insights into the situation
The England international is still regarded as the ideal candidate for the record champions‘ attack, with his dynamism, versatility and intensity in particular fitting in perfectly with Vincent Kompany’s ideas
However, there is apparently no acute pressure to act at Säbener Straße at the moment
Bayern currently see Gordon as too expensive
As transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reports, FC Bayern already have a strong attacking trio in Luis Díaz, Harry Kane and Michael Olise. Accordingly, those responsible only want to take action if a sensible opportunity arises economically
„Either a favorable opportunity arises or the club will not spend too much,“ explained Romano
This is precisely the problem at the moment, with Newcastle United continuing to demand a transfer fee in excess of 80 million euros – an amount that Bayern currently consider to be far too high
Bayern have already prepared alternatives
According to Romano, the Munich club are therefore already looking at alternative candidates. FC Bayern want to avoid becoming completely dependent on Newcastle in the transfer poker. However, he did not mention any specific names
What is particularly interesting is that internally, it is apparently still assumed that there will be movement in the personnel matter. „It is generally expected that Gordon will leave Newcastle this summer,“ said Romano
However, this also means that other top clubs could get involved in the poker game. FC Barcelona and several Premier League clubs have recently been linked with the winger
Bayern want to remain financially disciplined
Romano’s statements are in line with the Bayern bosses‘ current strategy: although the record champions want to strengthen the squad in certain areas, they are also looking to invest in a much more controlled manner than in previous transfer periods
Max Eberl is under particular scrutiny following the internal discussions about high transfer fees and salary structures
A transfer of Gordon is therefore only likely to be realistic if Newcastle make significant concessions on price or Bayern create additional financial leeway through sales.
