Bayern Munich target Anthony Gordon in £55m deal with Harry Kane aiding talks
England captain Harry Kane has spoken with international team-mate Anthony Gordon about a potential summer move to Bayern Munich, as the German giants explore a £55m deal for the Newcastle United winger.
The 25-year-old is reportedly keen to explore his options away from St James’ Park when the transfer window opens in two months.
Newcastle are aiming to balance their books to comply with the Premier League’s impending Squad Cost Ratio financial regulations.
The Magpies could be forced to sell high-profile players to ease their financial obligations ahead of the new campaign.
Premier League rivals monitor situation
Liverpool and Arsenal have previously registered strong interest in the former Everton forward.
The Merseyside club came close to securing his signature during the 2024 summer window.
That proposed move ultimately collapsed when Newcastle opted to cash in on Elliot Anderson instead.
However, hopes of keeping the lightning-fast attacker in England face a significant threat from Bavaria.
Bayern prepare opening bid
The Bundesliga heavyweights are preparing an initial £55m approach, though this remains well adrift of Newcastle’s valuation.
It is understood the North East club would demand a fee closer to £80m for one of their most prized attacking assets.
Discussions regarding a switch to the Allianz Arena have already taken place between Gordon and the former Tottenham striker.
Their conversations represent a massive boost for the German club as they attempt to fend off domestic Premier League competition.
Wider Newcastle exodus expected
The winger is not the only key figure linked with a departure from Tyneside this summer.
Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento have all been touted for potential exits.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that early negotiations for the winger are already under way.
Several clubs are involved in the first round of discussions.
