Bayern Munich are planning to hold meetings with representatives of Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon in the coming weeks, according to reports. The German champions are stepping up their pursuit of the England international as they look to secure a deal ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, writing for the Swiss edition of Sky Sports, Gordon has indicated to those close to him that he is open to a move to the Allianz Arena. Bayern's planned discussions with the player's camp are seen as a crucial step before any formal approach is made to Newcastle, who are reportedly open to negotiations.
The 25-year-old Gordon has enjoyed a standout season at St. James' Park, establishing himself as a key figure under Eddie Howe. He has scored 17 goals and provided five assists in 46 appearances across all competitions, a contribution that earned him his senior England debut earlier this season. His form has been one of the few bright spots in a challenging campaign for Newcastle, who face financial pressures to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules.
For Bayern Munich, Gordon represents a profile of player they have long targeted: a versatile, direct attacker capable of playing on either flank. With the future of veterans like Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry uncertain, and the loan of Bryan Zaragoza not yet yielding a permanent move, the Bundesliga giants are seeking to refresh their wide options. Gordon's age, contract situation at Newcastle until 2026, and recent development make him an attractive prospect.
The potential transfer carries significant implications for both clubs. For Newcastle, a substantial fee for a homegrown player would provide a major boost to their financial standing, aiding their ability to reinvest in the squad. For Bayern, securing a player of Gordon's Premier League-proven caliber would signal a clear intent to build a younger, more dynamic attacking unit under their new manager, Vincent Kompany. The coming weeks of talks are expected to determine if the foundations for a deal can be laid.
