Liverpool Target Premier League Star Return For £85-95m Revealed

Liverpool have emerged as the frontrunners in the race to sign Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon for a potential £95m transfer this summer, according to multiple reports[1][4]. The 24-year-old England international, who grew up a Liverpool fan despite his Everton roots, has impressed with 10 goals and 4 assists in 34 appearances this season, yet to reach his peak[1].

Sources indicate Liverpool's strong, long-standing interest, with informal contacts already made to gauge a move's feasibility. One insider noted, “Liverpool look like the early frontrunners for Gordon,” highlighting his family ties to the club[1]. However, Newcastle are determined to resist, demanding at least £85m, potentially up to £95m, echoing their stance with Alexander Isak[1]. The Magpies may struggle financially to retain stars like Gordon and Sandro Tonali amid summer pressures[1][3].

While Arsenal and Manchester City could enter the fray, Liverpool lead the pursuit for the dynamic winger, who could thrive alongside their elite squad[1]. Gordon's pace, directness, and Premier League pedigree make him an ideal fit for Arne Slot's system, addressing needs on the flanks[4].

Newcastle's high valuation stems from Gordon's breakout form and England call-ups, but Liverpool's pull—familial and competitive—positions them favorably. Talks won't advance without meeting the steep price, setting up a tense negotiation[1]. This blockbuster move could redefine Liverpool's attack, blending youth with proven quality at Anfield[4].
