Bayern Munich launch audacious pursuit of attacker wanted by Arsenal and Liverpool

Bayern Munich have firmly set their sights on the Premier League, reportedly identifying Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon as a premier target to bolster their attacking ranks.

According to respected Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Bundesliga champions are seriously considering a move for the 25-year-old England international.

While formal contact between the two clubs has yet to be established, concrete discussions have already taken place with Gordon’s representatives, who have been fully briefed on the Bavarian club’s intentions.

Bayern Munich are looking for attacking depth

The driving force behind Bayern’s interest is the pressing desire to provide high-quality cover and direct competition for Luis Díaz.

Since arriving in Germany from Liverpool last summer, the Colombian winger has been nothing short of sensational under manager Vincent Kompany.

Díaz has firmly locked down the left flank, registering an astonishing 23 goals and 18 assists across 41 appearances this season.

However, his immense workload, already clocking well over 3,300 minutes on the pitch, has highlighted a distinct lack of natural rotation options in the squad.

Bayern’s recruitment team views Gordon as the ideal candidate to step in and push Díaz for a starting berth.

The Newcastle star’s blistering pace, direct dribbling, and proven end product make him a tailor-made fit for Kompany’s playing style.

Prying Gordon away from St. James’ Park, however, will be highly complex.

Newcastle United have publicly stated their desire to retain their talisman, who remains under a long-term contract until 2030 and serves as a crucial figure in Eddie Howe’s project.

Nevertheless, the harsh realities of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) may ultimately force the Magpies’ hand.

The German powerhouse is reportedly hoping to secure a deal in the region of £50 million (€60m).

However, with Premier League rivals like Arsenal and Liverpool also heavily linked and reportedly willing to table far more lucrative offers to keep him in England, Newcastle will undoubtedly demand a premium fee.
