In recent weeks, Anthony Gordon has been the player of choice at FC Bayern. The record champions wanted to sign him to strengthen their attack and add a new element to their game. But that has come to nothing
The Catalans have clearly outbid FC Bayern in the poker game for the Englishman. Bayern wanted to sign Gordon, but set themselves clear limits, which they have clearly adhered to
However, the record champions are prepared. There are alternatives for the English attacking player, as several media outlets are now reporting. According to Sky information, FCB are also keeping an eye on several other players
According to this, Bayern were „miles away“ from reaching an agreement with Newcastle and the Catalans‘ offer was significantly better
Bayern are prepared for Gordon’s disappointment
According to Florian Plettenberg, FC Bayern have decided internally to take a multi-pronged approach to transfer targets this summer. In other words, if there is a disappointment or a player decides to go to another club, they want to pursue plan B
But which players does Bayern have in their sights? The rumor mill had recently linked the record champions with Eli Junior Kroupi from AFC Bournemouth, but the Cherries want to keep him in any case
According to information from SportBILD, FC Bayern want to distance themselves from the really big transfers after things didn’t work out with Gordon. The plan is rather to add young, hungry and developing players to the squad
However, the sources have one thing in common: they cannot name any specific names at the moment, so FC Bayern is working through its options in the attacking position just as patiently as internally.
