Anthony Gordon, the talented forward for England and Newcastle United, has already made an appearance in the highly anticipated Euro 2024 tournament. However, it seems that his future may be uncertain as he is reportedly open to a transfer this summer. Rumors are circulating that Gordon's head has been turned by Liverpool, causing him to reconsider his plans for the upcoming season.
Despite Liverpool pulling out of a deal to sign him last week, they still hold interest in the player as their new manager, Arne Slot, looks to shape the team to his liking. This has caused some tension for Newcastle, who have no intention of selling one of their star players. They now face a battle to convince Gordon to stay at St. James' Park.
According to sources, the 23-year-old has been extremely keen on moving to Anfield before the deal fell through. This has caused concern for Newcastle, who fear that this transfer saga has destabilized Gordon. They plan to show him a lot of love and support when he returns from the Euros, in hopes of convincing him to stay.
It's understandable that Gordon would be drawn to Liverpool, as it is his childhood club and he spent time in their academy. However, this potential transfer would be controversial as he began his career on the blue side of Merseyside at Everton. Despite this, Gordon had a successful season with Newcastle, scoring 12 goals.
Back in 2023, Gordon made headlines when he effectively went on strike to force a £45 million move to Newcastle from Goodison Park. However, Newcastle does not fear a repeat of this scenario as they believe negotiations with Liverpool are already settled. It seems that Liverpool failed to meet the asking price for Gordon and were not willing to include players such as Jarell Quansah or Joe Gomez in a part-exchange deal.
Fortunately for Newcastle, they were able to raise the necessary funds before the June 30 deadline through player sales and a compensation package for their sporting director. This allowed them to avoid any potential breaches of the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules, making a Gordon sale this summer highly unlikely.
For now, Gordon's main focus is on helping England win the Euros. The team is set to face Switzerland in the quarter-finals, and Gordon will undoubtedly be a key player in their pursuit of the championship. While his future remains uncertain, one thing is for sure - Anthony Gordon's talent and potential have not gone unnoticed and he will continue to be a sought-after player in the football world.
