Image Credits: Imago ImagesBayern Munich’s interest in Anthony Gordon is well established, but a leading German football insider has now flagged that Liverpool Football Club represent a genuine and potentially decisive obstacle in the Bundesliga giants’ path to signing the Newcastle United winger this summer.Gordon has registered 17 goals and four assists across all competitions for Newcastle.
The Reds’ history with the 25‑year‑old dates back to the summer of 2024, when Newcastle – then fighting to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules – came close to selling Gordon to Anfield. Newcastle’s desperation to raise funds before the June 30 PSR deadline saw them approach Liverpool directly, and though the deal broke down.A boyhood Liverpool supporter who spent time at the club’s academy before being released at the age of 11, Gordon has made little secret of his affinity for Anfield.That long-running thread is precisely what Bundesliga insider Christian Falk has now highlighted as a potential deal-breaker for Bayern“It’s true that Gordon’s prior relationship with, and affinity for, Liverpool Football Club could be a problem for Bayern Munich,” he reported.“Liverpool are still one of the top clubs in Europe and they have a lot of money to spend.
By contrast, Bayern don’t want to spend so much money this summer.“If they can’t get an agreement with Newcastle and Liverpool are able to put more money on the table than Bayern Munich, then you can understand why the Magpies would argue they shouldn’t sell Gordon cheaply to Munich when they can get more money from Liverpool. This could be a problem.”In short, Bayern may well be leading the race on paper, but if their valuation and Newcastle’s asking price fail to align, Liverpool are primed and waiting while Newcastle would have every commercial incentive to listen. anthony gordon Bayern Munich
