FC Bayern Munich has reportedly achieved a personal agreement with their sought-after player, Anthony Gordon.
According to information from journalist and transfer expert Ben Jacobs, the German record champions have received the green light from the 25-year-old Englishman for a summer move to Säbener Straße.
Prior reports from English and German media had already indicated that Gordon was not fundamentally opposed to a move to Munich and could envision a transfer to the Bundesliga. Now, a firm agreement is said to have been reached between both parties, marking the first hurdle cleared.
However, differing views on the transfer fee continue to present challenges. Reportedly, the Magpies are demanding £80 million, approximately 92 million euros, for the versatile offensive player – a sum FC Bayern is unlikely to be willing to pay.
After all, the Munich club has undergone a consistent cost-cutting program in recent years. According to tz information, Sporting Director Max Eberl and Sporting Director Christoph Freund have been tasked with only selectively strengthening the squad for the new season and not spending exorbitant sums. A transfer for Gordon does not fit this profile.
Club patron Uli Hoeneß is said to have recently advocated for signing the Englishman. Nevertheless, FCB would need to negotiate the demanded transfer fee down somewhat. Both clubs are reportedly already in discussions regarding this matter, even if a swift agreement appears unlikely.
Will Newcastle United yield after the agreement between Gordon and FC Bayern?
Nevertheless, Newcastle is aware that Gordon is seeking a new challenge next summer and that FC Bayern is indeed appealing to him. An agreement between the 25-year-old and the German record champions could further fuel the situation.
The development of Michael Olise, who left the Premier League for Munich and quickly blossomed into a world-class player, is said to play a role in Gordon’s considerations to join FCB. Furthermore, compatriot and national team captain Harry Kane has reportedly already spoken with Gordon to convince him to move to FCB, according to Sport Bild.
Sky reports on an initial draft contract that is said to already include figures for salary and duration. According to this, Gordon would likely sign a five-year contract with the record champions should the transfer materialize.
