(Credit: Imago) Anthony Gordon: Newcastle to accept offer ‘below asking price’ after Bayern Munich latest Thu 7 May 2026 12:00, UK Anthony Gordon could be allowed to leave Newcastle United for a cut-price fee this summer as he continues to eye a move to Bayern Munich.The Magpies are currently believed to be holding out for a fee of around £75million for the 25-year-old, but that price may be more than Bayern are willing to spend.While there is believed to be interest from the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea, the winger’s desire to move to Germany could throw a spanner in the works.Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that if all parties are keen to move on, Gordon could push for the move and force a lower fee.That would come as a blow to Newcastle’s transfer plans given their apparent need to sell before they can buy, but it may be their only option if they wish to move him on. 🔄 Newcastle Transfer Update 🔄 Breaking news on deals in progress, signings, departures, and contract news from the Newcastle United boardroom.
