Man United Enter Race for ‘sensational’ £75m Newcastle Winger this summer amid strong Liverpool links
Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea are interested in signing Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.
Gordon has been a key player for Newcastle since joining from Everton, but Liverpool’s interest may have turned his head.
Newcastle are looking for around £75m to sell him.
According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United has apparently joined Liverpool and Chelsea in the race to recruit Anthony Gordon, a winger for Newcastle United. Gordon has grown quickly since moving to St James’ Park and is now an important member of the Magpies.
At Everton, the England international pretended to be dishonest, but Eddie Howe’s hiring team took a chance on the young player, and it’s beginning to pay off.
Clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool are starting to look at Gordon. Any prospective purchasing club would be taking on additional risk, since Gordon still needs to continuously demonstrate his abilities at the greatest level.
Man United Enters the Anthony Gordon Race.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Manchester United are interested in signing Gordon, even though Liverpool, are showing the most interest as it stands.
It’s understood that it could cost around £75m for any club to secure his signature during the summer transfer window.
The Magpies understandably don’t want to lose the pacey winger, and the report suggests that Gordon isn’t pushing to leave the club and is happy at St James’ Park.
Gordon will currently be focusing on Euro 2024 with England, despite his lack of minutes under Gareth Southgate.
Dealing with a potential transfer in the background will be an unwelcome distraction, especially when a move feels unrealistic due to Newcastle likely being desperate to keep him at the club.
A report from The Telegraph has claimed that Gordon has had his head turned by Liverpool’s interest, with Newcastle concerned about his current state of mind.
Liverpool, Gordon’s boyhood club, failed to make a bid that matched Newcastle’s asking price, with the former Everton winger keen on a move to Anfield.
Losing Gordon would be a big blow for Newcastle, but they’ve been doing everything possible to ensure they comply with profit and sustainability regulations, meaning sales were always likely this summer.
Gordon, described as ‘electric’, was signed by Dan Ashworth from the Toffees, and the former Brighton & Hove Albion chief completed a move to Manchester United this week
