"Anthony Gordon has been heating up as the biggest name on Bayern Munich's shortlist this summer. The versatile attacking player is a proven talent for Newcastle United in the Premier League and fans were excited to see him on Bayern's radar. However, things took a turn as it was recently reported that Barca was also targeting the English attacker."
"As reported by Fabrizio Romano, and captured by @iMiaSanMia, that is not true. Romano states that despite the reports and meetings, the Englishman is too expensive for the Spanish side. That means the race for Gordon will be between Bayern and Premier League clubs."
"Probably not a great sign if a player was too expensive for Barcelona, however, there is the benefit that Gordon could be sold to the German side to avoid selling Gordon to rival in the Premier League. But with a high asking price and other options on the market, it is possible Bayern will look elsewhere for their marquee summer signing."
"Despite an extremely strong starting XI, it is clear that Bayern need to deepend their players off the bench. A problem which has been discussed by fans for years now, and hopefully something the club will finally address."
Anthony Gordon is being considered by Bayern Munich as a major summer target. The versatile attacking player has proven himself with Newcastle United in the Premier League, and interest from Bayern has generated excitement. Reports also claimed Barcelona was targeting Gordon, but those reports are not accurate. The reported reason is that Gordon is too expensive for Barcelona, leaving the pursuit focused on Bayern and other Premier League clubs. Bayern may consider selling Gordon to Germany to prevent a rival Premier League club from signing him. Bayern also needs stronger depth off the bench, a long-standing concern among fans, and may look for alternatives if Gordon’s asking price is too high.
