Newcastle United is bracing itself for the potential departure of several key players, including Anthony Gordon, this summer. The England international has garnered significant interest from top European clubs, with Bayern Munich and Arsenal leading the pursuit. Despite Gordon's current commitment to the Magpies, the club is aware that a substantial offer could tempt him to leave.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has emphasized the importance of player commitment, stating that he will not play anyone who is not fully dedicated to the team. The club is in a strong negotiating position, with Gordon contracted until 2030, but may consider selling him to facilitate a rebuild of the first-team squad. Other notable players, such as Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento, are also being courted by top clubs, and Newcastle may need to 'trade' this summer to secure significant transfer funds.
