Newcastle set an €86m price for Anthony Gordon as Bayern Munich lead transfer interest.
Newcastle United are bracing for a major transfer battle ahead of the summer window, with Anthony Gordon emerging as one of the most sought-after wingers in Europe. The club have made their stance clear: any deal would require a fee in the region of €86 million (£75 million), underlining just how highly they value the England international.
Interest from Bayern Munich has gathered pace in recent weeks, with the Bundesliga giants believed to be leading the race for Gordon’s signature. Although no formal approach has yet been made, Newcastle are fully aware of Bayern’s intentions as the German champions look to strengthen their attacking options.

Reports suggest Gordon is open to the idea of a move to Bavaria, and discussions with Harry Kane, who made a high-profile switch to Bayern in 2023, have only added fuel to the speculation. Kane’s experience in Germany is said to have provided valuable insight as Gordon weighs up his future.
However, a gap remains between the two clubs’ valuations. Bayern are thought to initially value Gordon closer to €63 million, leaving negotiations, should they begin, likely to be complex and drawn out. Despite this, Bayern are still considered frontrunners, ahead of Premier League rivals.
Arsenal are also closely monitoring the situation, with the Gunners keen to reinforce their wide attacking options. Uncertainty surrounding the long-term role of Gabriel Martinelli has increased their interest in Gordon, who fits the profile of a dynamic and versatile forward.

Elsewhere, Liverpool and Chelsea are keeping a watching brief, ready to enter the race if circumstances change. Their involvement could yet drive up the price and intensify competition for one of the Premier League’s most promising attackers.
Despite the growing attention, Newcastle remain determined to retain Gordon as part of their long-term project. The club are wary of losing multiple key players in one window, especially with ongoing uncertainty surrounding figures like Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães, and Tino Livramento.
Internally, Gordon is viewed as a cornerstone of the team’s attacking structure, and the club’s reluctance to sell reflects both his importance on the pitch and his potential for further development. However, Newcastle also recognise the realities of modern football, where sustained interest from elite clubs can become increasingly difficult to resist.
As the transfer window approaches, the situation remains finely balanced. While Gordon is not actively pushing for a move, the lure of a club like Bayern and the opportunity to compete at the highest level could yet prove decisive, setting the stage for one of the summer’s most intriguing transfer sagas.
