"Bayern Munich has made Newcastle United attacker Anthony Gordon its top priority for the summer transfer market, but the Bavarians are not alone - far from it: It could be true that Barcelona would like to sign Anthony Gordon. The agents are making a lot of calls, a lot of meetings, around Europe. There was a meeting with Chelsea, contact with Liverpool, contact with Arsenal... they're allowed to do that, as they know Newcastle need the money this summer to keep on the right side of Financial Fair Play."
"Barcelona were offered the player, but they can't afford the kind of transfer fee we've been talking about. Bayern, on the other hand, could pay this if they wish to. So it's getting interesting to see who's joining the poker table. I'm personally more afraid of Chelsea, as they have the resources to make a deal happen. Not to mention, they could use Nicolas Jackson as a makeweight in a potential swap deal (and we know Newcastle are interested in the Senegal international)."
"But, I think Bayern Munich still have a good chance to get this deal done, as they were very early on the market for Gordon. They can also rely on fellow England international Harry Kane to tell the 25-year-old just how good life in Munich is! Chelsea is a serious threat, but Arsenal and Liverpool could also make strong appeals to the Englishman. If Gordon has any doubt about jumping abroad, his domestic options could be appealing."
"Former Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso is on Chelsea's radar, but Liverpool is also - allegedly - keeping a close eye on the ex-Bayern Munich midfielder. With Arne Slot on shaky ground, could Liverpool seek to act early to avoid missing on Alonso? Maybe: Liverpool have made contact with Real Madrid officials to quell any doubts they may have about the potential appointmen"
Bayern Munich has identified Anthony Gordon as a top summer transfer priority, but multiple clubs are pursuing him. Barcelona has been offered the player yet cannot afford the reported transfer fee, while Bayern could pay if they choose. Newcastle United is expected to need funds this summer to comply with Financial Fair Play, encouraging interest and negotiations across Europe. Chelsea is viewed as a major threat due to its resources and potential to include Nicolas Jackson in a swap deal, with Newcastle also linked to the Senegal international. Bayern’s early approach and the presence of Harry Kane are seen as advantages. Arsenal and Liverpool could also appeal, especially if Gordon prefers staying in England. Xabi Alonso is also mentioned as a coaching target for Chelsea and Liverpool, with Liverpool reportedly contacting Real Madrid officials to address concerns about a potential appointment.
