Newcastle United expects a potential exodus of top players this summer, with Anthony Gordon being one of them. The English international has garnered significant interest from European powerhouses like Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
Although Gordon has not expressed a desire to leave, the club is prepared for a potential departure if a substantial offer is made. Newcastle is in a strong negotiating position due to Gordon's contract, which runs until 2030. The club's ideal scenario would be to retain both Gordon and another key player, Sandro Tonali, but they are open to 'trading' to facilitate a rebuild of the first-team squad. Other players, such as Tino Livramento, are also being courted by top clubs, including Manchester City.
While none of the players have officially requested a transfer, there is an understanding that one or more may seek new challenges this summer. Gordon has maintained a professional demeanor, but the prospect of no Champions League football may influence his decision to stay or leave. Newcastle is likely to demand a significant fee for Gordon, potentially around £75m-£80m, which would provide the club with the necessary funds to revamp their squad.
