Newcastle Braced for Potential Departure of Star Trio, Including Gordon

Newcastle United anticipates that Anthony Gordon may be open to a transfer this summer, with top European clubs such as Bayern Munich and Arsenal expressing interest in the England international. Alongside Gordon, other high-profile players like Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento could also leave the club, as they have garnered attention from several English and European teams. Although Gordon has not explicitly stated his desire to leave, a substantial offer could prompt his departure. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe emphasized that he prioritizes players' commitment to the club, stating that he will only play those who are fully dedicated to the team's future. The club is in a strong negotiating position with both Gordon and Tonali, given their contract situations. However, Newcastle may need to 'trade' players this summer to facilitate a rebuild of their first-team squad. With Tonali and Livramento also being pursued by other clubs, Newcastle faces a challenging summer ahead, as none of the players have officially requested to leave but may be seeking new challenges.
