Bringing you up to date on a possible deal for England and Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, we have transfer news for Liverpool.
One of the names that has been brought up frequently with Liverpool thus far in the transfer window is Anthony Gordon. The winger, who was a member of the England team that advanced to the Euro 2024 final in Germany, has returned from his international assignment.
In the final this past weekend, the Three Lions were defeated 2-1 by Spain. His participation in the competition hasn’t silenced rumors about his future; before the deadline next month, the Reds have been linked to him.
Gordon, who signed a £40 million contract to leave Everton in January 2023, was a standout player for Newcastle last season. He scored eleven goals and added ten assists in 35 Premier League matches.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that he has drawn interest this summer. In light of that, below is the most recent information regarding Gordon’s possible transfer to Liverpool between now and August 31.
Offer of a swap deal
Before last month’s unofficial financial fair play deadline, Newcastle reportedly made contact with Liverpool regarding a potential trade for Gordon. But the Reds wanted to discuss a deal that included Jarell Quansah, a defender, being traded.
That constituted the source of contention, as Liverpool had no intention of losing the 21-year-old, who enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2023–2024. In all, he made 33 first-team appearances before agreeing to a new deal with the organization in May.
Newcastle alert
Speaking about Gordon, Newcastle CEO Darren Eales has highlighted the team’s strong stance on a sale this summer, along with other players like Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak who have been linked with a move away. For the Magpies to comply with the Profitability and Sustainability Rules, sales have to be made before the end of the previous month.
“In the end, we had to do the deals that were right for the club (PSR wise), that made us compliant,” he stated to Chronicle Live. Therefore, looking at it that way, we took the necessary actions.
“However, we retained the players that, in my opinion, make up our core, people like Isak, Gordon, Bruno, and Joelinton.
“Now, the question is, how can we look to strengthen now that we have a fresh cycle ahead of us? How can we aim to advance to the next phase?”
The question of whether Gordon will play for Newcastle beyond this summer was posed to Eales in a definitive manner. In response, the Magpies’ leader said, “Yes!”
Teammates converse
Gordon reportedly discussed the prospect of joining Liverpool with his fellow England players after rumors of a transfer surfaced. Gordon was a member of the team that advanced to the competition’s final while playing for England on the international circuit.
Nevertheless, he only appeared as a substitute once throughout the competition. There were rumors expressing worries that he was preoccupied with speculating about his future.
Favorites of Liverpool
Bookmakers predict that Gordon will most likely move to Liverpool this summer. Arne Slot’s side appears to be by far the most likely destination according to the most recent Sky Bet odds. Gordon is available at odds of 5/6 to sign with the Reds, and the next best price is 7/1 for Chelsea.
