Liverpool’s recent decision concerning Anthony Gordon highlights the evolving picture of Arne Slot’s early tenure at the club.
The Reds approached Newcastle to explore the possibility of acquiring the former Everton winger.
Gordon, currently representing England at Euro 2024, has openly expressed his ambition to ascend to the top echelons of football.
Liverpool’s return to the Champions League next season contrasts with Newcastle’s absence from European competition, making Anfield an attractive destination for the talented young player.
However, discussions regarding Gordon’s transfer have reportedly stalled.
Newcastle’s interest in including Jarell Quansah as part of the deal for Gordon sheds light on the situation.
Quansah emerged this season with impressive performances for Liverpool’s first team, earning recognition with a spot in Gareth Southgate’s provisional squad for the Euros, albeit narrowly missing the final cut.
Liverpool are reluctant to part with Quansah, a promising homegrown talent poised for future success and likely to feature in England’s national team.

Despite Liverpool recently rejecting a proposal from Newcastle United involving Anthony Gordon and Jarell Quansah, they remain keen on the forward.
Interest in the former Everton player is not limited to Liverpool alone.
According to BBC Sport, Gordon is liked by Paris St-Germain.
PSG are actively searching for a forward following the departure of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid on a free transfer.
The report suggests that Gordon is now on their shortlist also includes Liverpool’s Luis Diaz.
Anthony Gordon, who joined Newcastle United in a £45 million deal from Everton in January 2023, made a late substitute appearance in Tuesday’s goalless draw with Slovenia, marking his only appearance in the tournament so far.
Last season, he scored 11 league goals and earned the club’s Player of the Season award for 2023-24.
