Anthony Gordon is heading towards a summer exit from Newcastle United, with three of European football’s biggest clubs all positioning themselves to land the England international before the transfer window closes in August. The 24-year-old has become one of the most coveted attackers on the continent, with his performances in the Premier League and Champions League drawing serious attention from multiple angles.
Fabrizio Romano, who has been among the most reliable voices on this story, confirmed that Gordon has a strong chance of departing St. James’ Park this summer. “Another name to watch is Anthony Gordon. He has very serious chances of leaving Newcastle United in the summer transfer window,” Romano said. Newcastle are understood to value the winger at around 92 million euros, which could yet prove the defining factor in determining which club ultimately wins the race.
Bayern Munich have been the frontrunners for much of the speculation, with sources in Germany suggesting the Bundesliga giants have placed Gordon on a three-man shortlist for their attacking reinforcements. However, Arsenal and Chelsea have both entered the picture to complicate matters significantly. The Athletic confirmed Chelsea’s interest, making them the latest Premier League side to come forward after the Gunners had already made their position clear to Newcastle’s hierarchy.
Liverpool were previously considered contenders but appear to have pulled back from the front of the queue, with reports suggesting they are focusing resources elsewhere this summer. What makes the situation particularly compelling is that Gordon himself has not publicly committed to staying, despite Newcastle’s attempts to retain him with a contract offer. His ability to function across the front line and his Champions League goal record, which this season saw him surpass Kylian Mbappe in goals per game across European competition, makes him a genuinely elite-level target.
Newcastle’s bargaining position depends heavily on whether they qualify for Europe next season, and that context is unlikely to become clear until the final weeks of the Premier League campaign. Whatever the outcome, the Gordon saga looks set to dominate transfer headlines from June onwards and could yet reshape the attacking departments at multiple top-flight clubs simultaneously.
