Anthony Gordon, a winger for Newcastle United, is supposedly going to cost Liverpool between £75 and £80 million. After losing out on Gordon last summer, Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider says the Reds are still interested in him. Should Luis Diaz depart Anfield due to Barcelona’s desire, he might once again be on their radar.
According to reports, the Colombian will be free to depart if the club gets offers for the 28-year-old that exceed £50 million. With 13 goals and seven assists during the Merseysiders’ Premier League title-winning season, Arne Slot will want a successor.
Gordon joined Newcastle in the summer of 2023 and has since established himself as a vital left winger for Eddie Howe. He performed admirably on the way to the Magpies’ Carabao Cup victory and helped them restore their spot in the Champions League.
O’Rourke said that given the financial stakes and Newcastle’s apparent improved PSR status, the transaction might be difficult for Liverpool to finalize. Gordon and Alexander Isak are two of their best players, and they are not under any pressure to sell.
Liverpool told £75m Anthony Gordon’s offer will be accepted
When Newcastle was obliged to contemplate selling in order to better their financial condition last summer, Gordon was very close to joining Liverpool.
Luis Diaz has been linked to leaving Anfield in recent times, and if he is moved, it is widely thought that the England international would be the best candidate to take his place.
The Reds have closely monitored the winger’s performances this season and may make a move if the chance arises, O’Rourke clarified.
Liverpool would need a left winger if Luis Diaz were to go, whether it is to Barcelona, the Saudi Pro League, or another team. Last summer, when Newcastle was obliged to sell some players due to PSR laws, Anthony Gordon came extremely near to joining Liverpool. Gordon is still a target for Liverpool, which has been monitoring him.
Given the rumors surrounding AC Milan star Rafael Leao, Gordon is not the only left-sided winger who has been connected to a move to Anfield this summer. On June 10, Brown informed Football Insider that because of the uncertainty surrounding Diaz’s future, Liverpool scouts have been keeping an eye on Leao.
