The situation was heavily influenced by Newcastle’s need to comply with PSR regulations at the time.After selling Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh, the Magpies were able to ease their financial pressure and ultimately retain Gordon.The 25-year-old subsequently signed a new contract early in the following season, but he has not quite managed to reach the same peak levels he showed prior to that period.According to talkSPORT, Anthony Gordon has agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich, although a significant gap remains between the German champions and Newcastle United in negotiations.Newcastle are demanding at least £75million for the winger, who has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, and there is confidence the asking price could be met given the level of interest.Arsenal are also admirers of Gordon, while Liverpool retain a long-standing interest. However, the Reds are not expected to pursue a move this summer.Bayern have prioritised signing a new winger after reclaiming the Bundesliga title, with Gordon emerging as one of their leading targets back in April.He remains under contract at St James’ Park until 2030 after signing a long-term extension two years ago.
