Hypothesis over a transfer for Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon could have died down, however Liverpool are claimed to nonetheless maintain “concrete curiosity” in a switch.
There seem like two sides to the story of Gordon’s proposed transfer to Anfield, with sources on Merseyside and Tyneside providing totally different takes.
It’s extensively claimed amongst Liverpool journalists that the membership had been supplied the winger as Newcastle sought to keep away from PSR sanctions, however their request to incorporate Jarell Quansah in any deal noticed talks dismissed.
However Newcastle‘s perspective is totally different, with outgoing director Amanda Staveley claiming in a brand new interview with The Athletic that Liverpool “chased him.”
Membership sources haven’t denied their curiosity in Gordon, and there’s a sense that it is a deal that will resurface – maybe as quickly as this summer season.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed, through his YouTube channel, that there stays “concrete curiosity” within the 23-year-old, as he’s a participant “they actually charge internally.”
“Internally they’re discussing the scenario of Anthony Gordon as a result of they hold believing he may very well be a incredible participant for the way forward for Liverpool,” the journalist added.
This comes after Liverpool journalist David Lynch advised Anfield Agenda final week that the switch “has an actual probability of being revived perhaps later within the window.”
Lynch defined that Gordon “would desperately like to play for Liverpool,” and with the attacker into the ultimate two years of his deal at Newcastle, they might be “in a weak place when it comes to negotiating.”
It’s maintained that any potential pursuit of Gordon could be contingent on motion for others already in Arne Slot‘s ahead ranks.
No information on Diaz
Mainly, that would hinge on the way forward for Luis Diaz, who’s attracting curiosity from the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain and should privately be angling for an exit.
The speculation is that, if Diaz had been bought, Liverpool would return for Gordon – however Romano has claimed “it needs to be a giant value for him with a purpose to give a possible inexperienced mild.”
Diaz is but to return to pre-season coaching and isn’t anticipated again till subsequent week when Slot’s squad land on Merseyside, and any growth over his future may relaxation on Barcelona’s makes an attempt to signal Nico Williams.
Because it stands, it appears as if whereas Gordon is raring to affix his boyhood membership, any deal wouldn’t come till late within the switch window if in any respect.
