[Gossip Board] Reporter: Bayern Has Made A Formal Offer To Gordon’s Team, And He Is Expected To Get A Five-year Contract

German Sky Sports reporter, this is Florian Plettenberg. The latest report on May 5 is that Bayern Munich is still making progress in its pursuit of Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon. Although there are many top clubs competing, Bayern has now taken the lead in submitting a formal offer including salary figures to Gordon and his team. The 25-year-old England international can get a five-year long-term contract in Munich. The player himself is open to a move to Bayern this summer.

Prior to this, Sky Sports Germany had reported that the core obstacle to this deal was not the players. Gordon and Bayern no longer have principled differences in the framework of personal terms. The crux of the matter, however, is that Bayern and Newcastle are far from an agreement. Newcastle has set a transfer fee of up to 80,000 to 90 million euros for the attacker. This is mainly because the Magpies need to obtain considerable income by selling players in order to comply with the rigid provisions of the Premier League's financial fair rules this summer. Bayern has a clear and strict budget limit for transfer fees, and currently has no plans to match such an asking price.

However, Pletembe gave an update on Gordon's progress today. Bayern's sports director Eberl and sports director Freund are maintaining contact with multiple candidates at the same time, and Gordon is only one of the key targets on the candidate list. Even so, Bayern is still extremely interested in the wing attacker, and has already put the specific length of the contract and the salary plan on the table.

Gordon came from the Everton youth training system and officially joined Newcastle United in 2023 regarding transfer matters. He has played a total of 46 games for the Magpies in various competitions this season, scoring 17 goals and assisting 5 times. With his excellent speed, With continuous vitality in running, and the ability to explode from a single point on the wing, Gordon has proven himself to be a very threatening wing attacker in the Premier League. In addition to Bayern, many Premier League clubs are currently paying attention to his movements.
