Bayern Munich have taken a major step in their pursuit of Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, reportedly agreeing personal terms with the England international ahead of a potential summer move, according to talkSPORT.

The Bundesliga giants now face the challenging task of negotiating a transfer fee with the Premier League club, with initial talks already underway. However, reports indicate a "significant gulf" between the two sides' valuations—Newcastle are holding out for around €86 million for the 23-year-old, who has impressed since moving to St. James' Park.

Despite the hefty price tag, Newcastle remain optimistic that a deal can be struck, given the intense interest from Bayern and other top European clubs. Gordon's pace, versatility, and growing reputation have made him one of the most sought-after young talents in the game.

Yet, whether Bayern would be willing to meet that asking price is highly questionable. German media have previously suggested that a fee of up to €70 million would be more manageable from the Bavarian club's perspective, leaving a potential gap that could make or break the transfer.

For now, the ball is in Bayern's court as they weigh up whether to push forward with a record-breaking bid or look elsewhere for attacking reinforcements. One thing's for sure: Gordon's stock is rising fast, and this summer could see him swap the black and white of Newcastle for the red of Bayern Munich.
