Newcastle United are facing a summer of significant upheaval after new reports from Sky Germany<\/a>\u2019s Florian Plettenberg that Anthony Gordon is the subject of intensifying interest from several top-tier European clubs, including Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old winger, who has been among Newcastle<\/a>\u2019s more reliable performers during a difficult campaign, may move on this summer with the Magpies likely to miss out on European football next season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For a fanbase already reeling from the departure of Alexander Isak<\/a> last year, the prospect of losing Gordon would represent a sizeable blow to the club\u2019s attacking identity.<\/p>\n

The timing could not be worse for manager Eddie Howe, whose own future remains a subject of intense debate on the terraces.<\/p>\n

While Howe retains the backing of his higher-ups, the club\u2019s inability to find consistency this term has led to dissent amongst supporters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Compounding the uncertainty is the growing likelihood of a wider exodus. Rumours persist that Tino Livramento is being courted by Manchester City<\/a>, while Sandro Tonali is also being linked with a move away from St. James’ Park.<\/p>\n

Underpinning all of these potential departures is the club\u2019s need to improve its Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR<\/a>) position.<\/p>\n

Having spent heavily last summer and without the sustained windfall of Champions League revenue, Newcastle may look to generate profit through player sales.<\/p>\n

Selling Gordon, who joined for \u00a345 million but is now valued closer to \u00a385m, would provide the vital financial breathing room the club needs to rebuild a squad that has looked increasingly misshapen as the campaign has progressed.<\/p>\n

Gordon excelled in the Champions League<\/a> this season, netting 10 times before Newcastle’s elimination in the Round of 16 by Barcelona. Only Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane have scored more than the ex-Everton<\/a> winger in this season’s competition to date.<\/p>\n

Bayern missed out on Newcastle forward Nick Woltemade last summer, however, the German has endured a difficult second half of the campaign and has seemingly lost his place in attack.<\/p>\n

The Champions League favourites welcome Real Madrid<\/a> to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night with a 2-1 quarter-final first leg lead over the Spanish giants.<\/p>\n

According to Sky Germany<\/a>, Gordon has been made aware of Bayern’s interest in his services.<\/p>\n

“The 25 y\/o is currently the preferred candidate for the left wing as a back-up and competitor for Luis D\u00edaz. Gordon has been informed. Concrete talks have already taken place, though the clubs are not yet in contact,” the report states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newcastle United are facing a summer of significant upheaval after new reports from Sky Germany\u2019s Florian Plettenberg that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":528975,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-528974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
