Liverpool could yet sign Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon this summer
Liverpool’s interest in Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon remains strong, with GIVEMESPORT exclusively claiming that a bid for the talented winger is still on the cards. Despite a previous move falling through over a month ago, Liverpool’s determination to secure Gordon’s signature has not waned. As the transfer window enters its final month, the Reds believe they can still land their man with a significant push.
Gordon, who had his head turned earlier in the transfer market, remains a key target for Liverpool. The Merseyside club is staying open-minded about the possibility of reigniting their pursuit of the winger, knowing that a strategic and substantial bid could potentially sway Newcastle’s stance.
The Magpies have expressed confidence that a deal for Gordon won’t materialize this summer. They view the 23-year-old, along with Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak, as ‘off limits’ due to the crucial roles they play in the team. Selling any of these stars would send a negative message to fans, players, and rival clubs, potentially undermining Newcastle’s ambitions.
However, there was genuine consideration of a swap deal involving Joe Gomez heading to St. James’ Park in exchange for Gordon. This scenario highlights the seriousness of Liverpool’s interest. Any new contract offered by Newcastle to Gordon will need to be exceptionally strong, especially given his knowledge of Liverpool’s interest and his childhood support for the Reds.
For Liverpool, acquiring Gordon would be a strategic move to bolster their attacking options. With a need for a winger to provide backup for Mohamed Salah, the Englishman fits the bill as a long-term investment. His pace, skill, and potential make him an ideal candidate to eventually take on a more prominent role at Anfield.
However, he won’t come cheap as a deal could have been worth around £75 million, making him one of Liverpool’s biggest purchases ever. Although Newcastle’s current financial considerations make a transfer this summer unlikely, Liverpool remains poised to revisit the deal in the near future.

While Newcastle’s current stance poses a challenge, the Reds’ persistent interest suggests that this blockbuster deal is far from dead. As the transfer window progresses, the Reds could ramp up their interest and perhaps force Newcastle to yield. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.
