Newcastle United hit with blunt £75m transfer reality - but it might be a good thing Anthony Gordon has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich Comments Sean McCormick Newcastle United reporter 06:00, 23 Apr 2026 View 2 Images Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United (Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images) Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon cannot turn a move to Bayern Munich down if they come calling in the summer. That is the blunt verdict of BBC Sport pundit and former Everton and Chelsea star Pat Nevin, who also believes a move to Liverpool would also not be out of the question for the 25-year-old. Gordon has been linked with a £75million move to Bayern this summer but Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are all said to be interested in the England international, too. After Newcastle CEO David Hopkinson admitted one or two of the club's star players might leave the club this summer, interest in Gordon has intensified. Newcastle will only sell on their terms, though, and will be decisive early in the transfer market to show they have learned the lessons of allowing the Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool to drag on right up until transfer deadline day last summer.

"You don't turn down Bayern, you just don't," Nevin said while speaking to Mega Casino , which has a wide selection of online slots. "Look what it's done for Harry Kane. Look what it's done for Michael Olise. It's been brilliant for them. I spent a lot of time in the Allianz going to games over the years. What a place. "You're going to win trophies, which is a good thing. Anthony's won the trophy within Newcastle which was great. Evertonians will remember about Anthony. When it's right for him he'll get going, he'll leave and that's fine because that's just the modern game. That's just what happens. "The good thing for Newcastle is they will get a lot of money, they could reinvest it, hopefully wisely. You know there is something I’m deliberately not mentioning, Liverpool! Because, to be honest, here's the weird thing, Liverpool's not out of the question. "In times gone by you see an Evertonian leaves and comes back and plays for Liverpool, you think, my goodness that is brave. I played for Everton when Peter Beardsley came to us from Liverpool. It can happen. But the fact that Anthony's so disliked by the Evertonians.

Toffees would still just dislike him for what happened in the past. So maybe that's not beyond the bounds of possibility as well. Are you likely to win more trophies with either of those two than you are with Newcastle? Sadly, yes. "And I say that sadly because Newcastle is the closest club to where I live. I do love the city. I do really love the club as well. "But in reality they've had real problems with PSR and it may well be that that's one way out of it, that they can go and restock the team because they've not had a big enough squad. "The problem in Newcastle United hasn't been they're not good enough, the problem has been the squad's not big enough and the injuries have slowed them and they've tired them and that's why they've underperformed. "And weirdly, if Anthony did go and they did get top dollar for him, that reinvestment actually might make sense." Article continues below
