Newcastle United expects Anthony Gordon to consider a transfer this summer, with the English international drawing interest from top clubs like Bayern Munich and Arsenal. Gordon, along with Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento, is one of several high-profile players who could leave the Magpies, as English and European clubs show significant interest. Although Gordon has not expressed a desire to leave, a substantial offer could change the situation. Liverpool previously attempted to sign Gordon in 2024, but it remains to be seen if they will renew their pursuit.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe discusses transfer speculation with players when necessary, emphasizing that he only plays those fully committed to the club. The Magpies are in a strong negotiating position with both Tonali and Gordon, who are contracted until 2029 and 2030, respectively. While the ideal scenario is to retain both players, the club acknowledges the need to 'trade' this summer to rebuild the squad. Tonali has multiple suitors, and Manchester City is interested in Livramento, whose contract has only two years remaining.
Although none of the players have officially requested a transfer, there is an understanding that one, two, or all three may seek new challenges this summer. Gordon has maintained a professional demeanor in training and games, but the prospect of no Champions League football may influence his decision. Newcastle would likely demand a significant fee, potentially around double the £40m they paid for Gordon in 2023, given his current deal and performances.
