There has been a lot of talk about Liverpool and Anthony Gordon this summer, and those rumours show no sign of fading away as we approach the final weeks of the summer transfer window.
Newcastle shelled out £45 million ($57.5 million) to sign the Everton winger in January 2023 and he has since proven he is worth every penny, emerging as one of the Premier League’s best players last season as he scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in his 35 appearances.
Despite this, the 23-year-old was widely linked with a move earlier this summer as Newcastle desperately tried to balance the books and avoid a points deduction for breaching the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability regulations.
The Reds came close to signing him earlier this summer, with a medical scheduled before Newcastle did a U-turn and the move was halted.
Gordon’s eagerness to join Liverpool has fueled recent speculation that this story still has a future and a report from Insider information about football claims the Newcastle ace “could go on strike” to try and force through his signing.
His current contract with the Magpies runs until the summer of 2026. Eddie Howe’s side are understood to have placed a hefty £75m ($96m) valuation on the 23-year-old, which could rise to £100m ($128m) including add-ons.
Sun New reports have emerged indicating that Gordon’s move to Liverpool could trigger a potential domino effect.
Crystal Palace are reported to be monitoring Gordon’s situation closely as they fear Newcastle could make a bid for their star winger Eberechi Eze, who has a £60 million (US$76 million) release clause in his contract at Selhurst Park, as a potential replacement.
