Newcastle United are demanding a massive package of £100 million from Liverpool to sell Anthony Gordon during the summer window
Liverpool wants Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon but they face a preposterous demand of a £100 million package for him. Newcastle approached Liverpool before the PSR deadline to sell Gordon but demanded Jarell Quansah in exchange, which the Reds rejected.
Liverpool and Gordon share a mutual admiration for each other despite the Englishman’s past affiliations with local rivals Everton. The 23-year-old highlighted Steven Gerrard as his idol and praised Anfield as one of the best stadiums in different interviews.
The Reds want a wide forward this summer to bolster their attacking department that need new faces to freshen up. They suffered a poor end to the last season after their attackers faced a sudden drastic dip in their form.
Meanwhile, Gordon enjoyed an incredible season with the Magpies and produced healthy goals and assists as one of their attackers. The England international showcases directness, unpredictability, and consistent excellence, hallmarks of a top-tier attacking forward.
Newcastle’s struggle with PSR and the lack of European football next season opened up the door for Liverpool to capitalise. However, they sold Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson to procure the required amount to survive any PSR-related penalties.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle want a package of £100 million to sell Gordon to Liverpool after surviving the PSR situation. The massive price tag is a major concern for the Reds if they want to sign Gordon during the summer.
The Telegraph‘s report suggests that Gordon’s head has turned after the failed negotiation between Newcastle and Liverpool which could play a big role ahead in the summer. Gordon’s age, quality, affection for Liverpool and homegrown status are the key attractive incentives for the club to target him.

Liverpool can opt for an exchange deal involving a player who is surplus to their requirements. A lot depends on the future of players like Luis Diaz persistently linked to Barcelona and his potential deal could fund Liverpool’s deal for Gordon.
