German giants Bayern Munich have reportedly placed Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon at the top of their summer transfer wishlist.
The Bundesliga club is looking to bolster their attacking options and views the England international as a perfect fit for their system.
Recent reports suggest that the Bavarian side has already begun internal discussions regarding a formal approach during the upcoming window.
Newcastle United Set High Asking Price for Star Man
The Magpies are aware of the growing interest in their star player but they are not prepared to let him leave cheaply.
Newcastle United reportedly value Gordon at £75 million as they look to protect their prized asset.
This significant valuation reflects his importance to Eddie Howe’s squad and his recent impressive form in both domestic and European competitions.
Anthony Gordon Open to Bundesliga Switch This Summer
It is understood that Anthony Gordon has told friends he is open to a move to Germany to further his career progression.
The former Everton man has seen the success of other English players abroad and believes he could thrive in the Bundesliga.
He is particularly impressed by how quickly Michael Olise adapted to life in Munich after moving from the Premier League last year.
Financial Pressures Could Force Newcastle into Sale
Despite their desire to keep the winger, Newcastle may be forced to sell due to ongoing Profit and Sustainability Rules.
The club needs to balance their books before they can make significant investments in new signings for the next campaign.
Selling a high value player like Gordon would provide the necessary funds to overhaul other areas of the starting eleven.
Competition Rises as Arsenal and Liverpool Monitor Situation
Bayern Munich are not the only club interested in securing the signature of the talented twenty five year old winger.
Premier League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool are also keeping a close eye on developments at St James’ Park this month.
Both clubs have long standing interests in Gordon and could rival any bid made by the current German champions.
