Newcastle United is facing the prospect of selling Anthony Gordon in the summer transfer window, with Liverpool among the teams linked with a move for the winger when the market opens.Anthony Gordon continues to be linked with a possible transfer to Liverpool(Image: (Photo by Michael Regan - The FA/The FA via Getty Images))Newcastle is considering a transfer exit for Anthony Gordon this summer, as clubs register interest in the England international ahead of the market opening.The 25-year-old has impressed for the Magpies since his $54 million move from Everton in January 2023, having seen him reach new heights for the club.Gordon has featured predominantly on the left wing, but can also play on the right wing and as a striker, offering plenty of pace and attacking thrust, even if the finishing touch isn't always present.This season has come with some struggles, though that isn't exclusive to just Gordon, as Newcastle as a whole has failed to play to the very best of the squad's ability, and a summer refresh is on the way to reflect that.READ MORE: Trent Alexander-Arnold gets brutal Real Madrid verdict as Dani Carvajal reaction speaks volumesREAD MORE: Liverpool legend considered quitting after two weeks after honest chat with wifeThe Athletic reports that, with that in mind, Newcastle is open to the sale of the winger to help facilitate a change in the roster available to Eddie Howe, while there is also a need to maximize the value of players.The hierarchy at St. James' Park is looking to be proactive in sales as well, having spent months locked in a saga surrounding Alexander Isak, which eventually saw him make a move to Liverpool late in the transfer window.There is an expectation that, should Gordon be available this summer, Newcastle will receive a profit on the initial transfer fee paid to Everton for the player, allowing it to dip back into the market.Gordon looks set to leave Newcastle in the summer transfer window(Image: (Photo by Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images))Interest in Gordon is there, with the report adding that Bayern Munich and Chelsea are gearing up for potential moves, while Arsenal has continued to monitor the star.While Liverpool has made attempts to sign the England ace in the past, the current stance is believed to be that the club is looking elsewhere and will not revive that interest.It's unclear whether that stance could change, with there still being a few months until the transfer window opens once again, and given the need for forwards.Mohamed Salah's exit is one factor to consider, as the recruitment team must ponder ways to replace one of the greatest players in the club's history.READ MORE: Gary Neville rates Liverpool's chances of Champions League qualification before Man Utd gameREAD MORE: Xabi Alonso was forced to address Chelsea 'offer' as ex-Liverpool star eyed for manager's jobAdd to that the general underperformance of the rest of the forward line, with injuries hampering Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, while Slot tries to strike a balance between attacking and defending, and it all paints a complicated picture.RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande appears to be among those high on the list at Liverpool who could provide attacking verve, but competition from Bayern Munich could make for a challenging push for his signature.That could circle things back around to Gordon, but for now, the stance is clear, and by that point, others may have made their move for the winger as Newcastle looks to get a deal done early.
