Bayern Munich have set their sights on Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon, and the news is sure to get Liverpool fans buzzing. According to Christian Falk, the England international's representatives have already held talks with Bayern officials, with the Bundesliga champions eyeing the winger as their top summer transfer target.
Gordon has been in sensational form this season, racking up 17 goals and 5 assists in 46 appearances across all competitions. His blistering pace and versatility make him an ideal candidate to bolster Bayern's forward line, providing cover for the likes of Luis Diaz, Harry Kane, and Michael Olise. But here's the twist: with Liverpool also reportedly keen on the 22-year-old, seeing him head to the Allianz Arena instead could leave Reds fans both relieved and frustrated.
Falk reports that preliminary discussions have already taken place between Gordon's agents and Bayern's head of sport, Max Eberl. "It is TRUE: There was a meeting with Anthony Gordon's agents," Falk exclusively told CF Bayern Insider. "Gordon has an English agent and a German agent; the German one, Gordon Stipic-Wipfler, met with Max Eberl for the first round of talks." The connection between Stipic-Wipfler and Eberl runs deep—they previously discussed a potential move for Marc Guehi before Manchester City swooped in—suggesting Bayern are pulling out all the stops to land the Englishman.
For Newcastle, this could be a pivotal summer. With Financial Fair Play constraints looming, Gordon is reportedly one of several players who might be sacrificed to keep the books balanced. That opens the door for Bayern to swoop in with a tempting offer, though concrete numbers have yet to be negotiated.
From a tactical standpoint, this move makes perfect sense for Bayern. Gordon's ability to play across the front three, combined with his relentless work rate, would add a new dimension to their attack. For Liverpool fans, seeing a Premier League rival strengthen while their own club misses out on a top target might sting, but knowing he's heading to Germany rather than staying in England could soften the blow.
As the summer window approaches, all eyes will be on Gordon's next move. Whether he dons the red of Bayern or stays in the Premier League, one thing is clear: this is a transfer saga worth watching.
