Bayern Munich want to add a wide player for next season, focusing on left-side attacking depth. Anthony Gordon was identified as the top target, with personal terms reportedly agreed, but Newcastle’s valuation created a major gap. Bayern are expected to miss out because Barcelona have agreed a fee worth €80 million, including €70 million up front and €10 million in bonuses, and Gordon has indicated support for the move. Bayern are not expected to try to derail the transfer and are reluctant to pay Newcastle’s asking price to maintain economic stability. Bayern will pursue other options, including RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, though Leipzig’s price is reportedly above €100 million. Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain is also mentioned as a potential alternative.
"Bayern Munich want to add a wide player to their squad for next season. The Bundesliga champions were specifically looking to add a player who can play on the left side of the attack. Luis Diaz has been sensational on the left for Bayern since arriving from Liverpool but they need more depth in this position."
"Die Roten gad identified Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon as the top target to strengthen the attack this summer. They had reportedly agreed personal terms with the English forward, but there was significant gap in valuation between the two clubs."
"It does look like Bayern are set to miss out on Gordon. According to The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano, FC Barcelona have agreed a fee worth €80 million for Gordon. The Spanish club will be paying €70 million up front and €10 million in bonuses. Gordon has given the nod to the transfer to FC Barcelona. It is a big blow for Bayern but they are not expected to make any attempts to hijack Gordon's move to Barcelona."
"Bayern were not keen on paying the fee Newcastle United wanted for Gordon. The Bavarian club is not keen on spending big on players this club as they aim to keep economic stability while strengthening Kompany's squad. Bayern will turn their attention to other options. Gordon was not Bayern's primary target to strengthen the attack. They were relying on Gordon's will to bring down Newcastle's demands. RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande is reportedly Bayern's first choice target."
