Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has publicly confirmed discussions with Anthony Gordon, providing the clearest indication yet that the Bundesliga champions are serious about signing the Newcastle United winger this summer.
Speculation around Gordon's future has intensified in recent weeks, with reports repeatedly linking the England international to a move to Germany. Bayern are believed to be prioritising attacking reinforcements and Gordon has increasingly emerged as one of the club's preferred targets.
The biggest challenge, however, remains convincing Newcastle to sell.
Bayern confirm Anthony Gordon discussions
Speaking publicly about transfer plans, Eberl admitted Bayern are actively looking to strengthen their attacking options.
“We agree that we will sign an attacking player if he can be financed.” — Max Eberl
When specifically asked about Gordon, the Bayern director went even further.
“We had a very good conversation and hope we can make progress.” — Max Eberl
Those comments are likely to increase attention around the situation because they represent direct acknowledgement of contact rather than the usual transfer speculation.
Having followed Bayern’s transfer strategy in recent years, the club rarely speaks publicly about individual targets unless genuine discussions have reached meaningful stages.
However, positive conversations do not automatically mean a deal is imminent.
Key Points
- Max Eberl confirmed talks with Anthony Gordon
- Bayern Munich are seeking attacking reinforcements
- Newcastle reportedly want around €86m
- Gordon is believed to be open to the move
- Transfer negotiations are expected to continue
What's next
Attention may now shift towards whether Bayern formally increase pressure through direct negotiations with Newcastle.
Player preference can often influence transfer situations, but the final outcome may depend heavily on whether Bayern can bridge the gap in valuation. Newcastle's own summer planning could also become an important factor.
For now, Bayern's message is clear: interest in Anthony Gordon is no longer being hidden.
Should Newcastle hold firm on Gordon's valuation, or cash in if Bayern make a major offer?
