Latest update on Anthony Gordon’s transfer to Liverpool – Newcastle’s position, potential swap deal, and player’s reaction…

The most recent update on Anthony Gordon’s transfer to Liverpool includes Newcastle’s stance, the possibility of a swap deal, and the response from the player.

Anthony Gordon’s potential transfer to Liverpool continues to be a hot topic, with Newcastle’s stance, the possibility of a swap deal, and the player’s response all under scrutiny.

The winger has returned from international duty with England, where he played a key role in their journey to the Euro 2024 final in Germany.

Despite the Three Lions’ 2-1 defeat to Spain in the final, speculation surrounding Gordon’s future persists, with Liverpool reportedly showing interest ahead of the upcoming transfer deadline.

Gordon impressed during his time at Newcastle last season, following his £40 million move from Everton in January 2023.

With 11 goals and ten assists in 35 Premier League appearances, he proved to be a standout performer for the Magpies.

Liverpool has attracted interest in Gordon this summer, which is not surprising.

The latest news on a potential move for Gordon to Liverpool before August 31 is as follows.

Exchange offer

According to the Echo, Newcastle initiated contact with Liverpool regarding a potential deal for Gordon before the informal financial fair play deadline at the end of last month.

Liverpool, however, proposed a swap deal involving defender Jarell Quansah.

This proposal became a point of contention, as Liverpool had no intention of letting go of the 21-year-old player who had a successful season in 2023/24.

Gordon made a total of 33 appearances for the first team and recently signed a new contract.

Newcastle’s caution.

When discussing Gordon, along with other players such as Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak who have been linked with a move away, Newcastle CEO Darren Eales has emphasized the club’s clear stance on a sale this summer.

The Magpies had to make sales before the end of last month to be compliant with Profitability and Sustainability Rules.

“In the end, we had to do the deals that were right for the club (PSR wise), that made us compliant,” he told Chronicle Live. “So, from that perspective, we did what we had to do.

“But we kept what I would say are our core players, the type of players like Isak, Gordon, Bruno, Joelinton – those players who are our core.

“Now it’s a case of OK, with that new cycle ahead of us now, how can we look to strengthen? How can we look to go to the next level?”.

Eales was then asked directly if Gordon would continue to play for Newcastle beyond this summer. The Magpies chief replied by confirming: “Yes!”

It has been stated that Gordon discussed the possibility of joining Liverpool with his England teammates after rumors of a transfer surfaced.

Gordon was part of the England squad during international duty and reached the final of the competition.

However, he only made one substitute appearance during the tournament. There were concerns that he was affected by the speculation about his future.

According to bookmakers, a move to Liverpool is the most probable for Gordon this summer.

The latest Sky Bet odds have Arne Slot’s team as his most likely destination by a significant margin. The Reds are priced at 5/6 to sign Gordon, with Chelsea next in line at 7/1.
