Bayern Munich want to include a German international in a deal to sign Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Lee Ryder.
There’s a strong chance that Gordon heads through the exit door in the summer transfer window, with a host of clubs showing an interest in securing his signature.
Eddie Howe has previously hinted that Gordon could be leaving, leading to the Newcastle boss leaving him out of the starting 11 late in the season.
“Since January, really, we have been disappointed – so a change of structure really. Ant has come back to fitness. He’s training well but, also, I’m looking at the future as well.”
Bayern Munich are one of the sides showing an interest in Gordon, and they are planning on including a player in order to sweeten the deal.
Bayern Plotting Gordon Swap Deal
According to journalist Lee Ryder, the talk from Germany is that Bayern Munich are trying to include goalkeeper Alexander Nubel in a deal to sign Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon.
It’s a similar situation to what Newcastle have been in before, when they brought Odysseas Vlachodimos to the club as part of a move that included Elliot Anderson going to Nottingham Forest.
Whether including Nubel in a deal for Gordon is of interest to Newcastle remains to be seen, but there is no doubt they’d rather some of Bayern’s superstars.
Time for Gordon to Move On
With Howe confirming that he is looking to the future when deciding whether to pick Gordon, it is clear to see that he isn’t fully committed to the course heading into the new campaign.
It makes sense for Newcastle to cash in if Bayern are able to offer a significant deal, especially after England and international endured a disappointing season.
If the Magpies can make a profit on what they paid to sign him from Everton and invest in new players, it could be a smart move. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see an overhaul of their squad after finishing in the bottom half.
