TRANSFER EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Gordon to Liverpool — A Transfer Story Far From Finished
The Anthony Gordon-to-Liverpool saga has resurfaced once again — and this summer could finally bring the long-running story to a dramatic conclusion.
Newcastle United are reportedly preparing for the possibility of losing their star winger before next season begins, with Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal all monitoring the situation closely. But recent developments may have handed the Reds a significant advantage in the race.
Bayern Hesitate as Liverpool Watch Closely
Newcastle are believed to value Gordon at around £75 million, but Bayern Munich are reluctant to meet that figure, reportedly rating the England international closer to £60 million. There are also concerns within the German club over whether Gordon would immediately secure a starting role ahead of Luis Diaz, raising doubts about the likelihood of a deal.
Barcelona have already stepped away from negotiations, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Catalan giants consider the deal financially unrealistic. That leaves Liverpool in a strong position should they decide to act.
A Move That Almost Happened Before
Liverpool previously came extremely close to signing Gordon in the summer of 2024. A proposed £75 million agreement was reportedly progressing, with Joe Gomez expected to head to Newcastle as part of the package.
However, Newcastle changed direction at the last minute, opting to sell alternative players to satisfy financial regulations. Gordon later signed a new contract at St. James’ Park, though links with Liverpool never completely disappeared.
Now, the possibility has resurfaced. Reports suggest Gordon’s representatives have reopened communication with Liverpool, while Newcastle have informed interested clubs that the winger could be available this summer.
The Liverpool Connection Runs Deep
Part of what makes this potential transfer so compelling is Gordon’s personal attachment to Liverpool.
Born and raised on Merseyside, Gordon supported Liverpool growing up and even spent time in the club’s academy before joining Everton at the age of 11. He has also spoken publicly about idolising Steven Gerrard during his childhood.
“Steven Gerrard was my football hero growing up,” Gordon once admitted. “Coming from Liverpool, he was like a God.”
With strong family ties to the club, a move to Anfield would carry emotional significance beyond football alone.
Why Liverpool Want Him
From a football perspective, Gordon’s profile fits Liverpool’s current needs perfectly. The 25-year-old has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season, including 10 in the Champions League, while also establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s quickest and most direct wide attackers.
With Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson both set to depart Anfield, Liverpool are expected to prioritise pace, creativity, and attacking versatility this summer — qualities Gordon offers in abundance.
What Happens Now?
As the summer transfer window approaches and Bayern’s interest cools, Liverpool must decide whether to push forward decisively for a player many believe would jump at the chance to wear the famous red shirt.
Newcastle may be reluctant to strengthen a domestic rival, especially after already losing Alexander Isak, but every player has a price — and Liverpool could soon test their resolve.
One thing is clear: the Anthony Gordon transfer story is not going away anytime soon.
