Newcastle Expects Potential Departure of Key Players, Including Anthony Gordon

Newcastle anticipates that several high-profile players, including Anthony Gordon, may leave the club during the summer transfer window. Gordon, an England international, has garnered significant interest from top European clubs, such as Bayern Munich and Arsenal. Although he has not expressed a desire to leave, Newcastle may consider selling him if a substantial offer is made. The club's manager, Eddie Howe, emphasizes the importance of commitment to the team, stating that he will only play players who are fully dedicated to the club. Newcastle is in a strong negotiating position, with Gordon contracted until 2030. The club aims to retain both Gordon and another key player, Sandro Tonali, but may need to 'trade' this summer to facilitate a rebuild of the first-team squad.
