According to sources who spoke to Football Insider. Newcastle United has informed Liverpool that they are seeking an incredible £100 million for Anthony Gordon this summer.
The 23-year-old England international is a target for the Merseyside giants . The negotiations have taken place between the Premier League rivals.
Liverpool has turned down Newcastle’s initial request for Jarell Quansah. A swap deal is not possible Gordon deal.
The giants from the Northeast would like take a straight-cash deal . They are hoping to make a tonne of money on their January 2023 £45 million signing from Everton.
Gordon’s contract with Newcastle is set to start at £75–80 million. Adding his performance performance-related add-ons potentially raising the price to £100 million.
Liverpool, though, may decide to come back with a partial exchange proposal.

The winger won Newcastle’s Player of the Season award last season. He has put up 12 goals and dishing out 11 assists across all competitions. He was incredibly impressive.
Gordon only moved to Newcastle 18 months ago from Everton in a £45 million deal. In that time he has established himself as a vital member of Eddie Howe’s team.
Gordon’s Season Review
This season, Anthony Gordon does not have more yellow cards than goals, despite what some people are saying on the internet.
With just 10 yellow cards throughout the 2023–2024 season. The Newcastle United forward finished with 11 goals. In addition, he contributed ten assists.
The 23-year-old had trouble with his final product before the previous term. He was unrefined, erratic, and immature while playing for Everton. It seemed excessive to pay Newcastle United £45 million to acquire him in January 2023. After all, the adaptable winger received 10 cautions and seven goals in his 3,400 minutes with the Toffees.
For a player who had scored less than ten goals in the league, it was a hefty price. Paying such a large sum for an unpredictable attacker was also a bit of a risk.
A threat for current Player?
Luis Diaz’s tenure at Anfield may come to an end if Gordon moves there, even though he was a consistent starter for Jurgen Klopp’s team the previous season.
Luiz Diaz attracts interest from elite European teams like Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Diaz, whose contract at Anfield expires in2027, stated that he plans to return to Liverpool this summer even though his current focus is on getting ready for Copa America.
Barcelona has expressed interest despite this; in an update on Tuesday, The Athletic acknowledged their pursuit.
Colombian journalist Breinner Arteta Canizares has reported about Diaz. A meeting between Diaz’s representatives and “emissaries from a Spanish club” is planned. It is going to take place in the US “this week or next.”
Barca and Diaz Saga
The 27-year-old “would have everything lined up to leave Liverpool FC and go to LaLiga,” according to reports.
For the reinforcements of the two key positions. Joaquim Piera of Sport in Spain reported that Bruno Guimaraes of Newcastle and Diaz are the two players
Piera states that it will be a very long and absolutely unpredictable transfer window. It is because of the ongoing European Championship and the forthcoming Copa America, which kicks off on Friday.
Hansi Flick, the new manager of Barcelona, has already given Diaz the go-ahead. He has stated that it has been agreed upon by all involved that he is the top priority.
The Athletic reports that Liverpool is “planning for pre-season” with Diaz, but their subsequent language does imply that a deal might be reached.
Journalist Andy Jones from Merseyside states, “They would expect a significant fee for the Colombian winger to even consider a sale.”
Presuming a profit on £50 million might be a challenging task when it comes to Barcelona. As considering their well-documented financial problems.
It should not be forgotten that Barca has still have spend a lot of money on players in recent seasons . Vitor Roque, 19, for £52 million, Robert Lewandowski, £43 million, Jules Kounde, £42 million, and Ferran Torres, £47 million are the players signed.
