Anthony Gordon's transfer stance is revealed as Liverpool dealt double blow in Newcastle talks.
According to reports, Liverpool may reopen negotiations to sign Anthony Gordon. However, with Newcastle reportedly close to completing a double deal, the Reds might have already lost their chance.
Reports state that Anthony Gordon is open to joining Liverpool this summer. However, it's possible that the Reds' chances of acquiring the Newcastle star are over.
The Daily Mail reports that negotiations over a possible transfer of the England international to Anfield broke down this week. Gordon was reportedly eager to be let go by Newcastle, but Liverpool rejected a deal that would have resulted in Jarell Quansah moving in the other direction.
However, it was suggested that discussions may resume over the weekend, given the Magpies' continued need for financial support. Newcastle have to sell before the Premier League's PSR deadline of June 30 to avoid any point deductions.
Despite the lack of a Gordon agreement, they might still be in the running because two other players are certain to leave St. James' Park. The Athletic reports that Elliot Anderson has agreed to a contract with Nottingham Forest, and that Brighton has secured a deal for Yankuba Minteh, who was previously connected to Liverpool.
That may put an end to the Reds' aspirations of signing Gordon this summer, despite the fact that Fabrizio Romano reports the 23-year-old is amenable to relocating to Anfield. Additionally, according to The Guardian, Liverpool may reopen negotiations to sign the forward in light of their continued interest.
Gordon began his professional career at Everton, however he has previously made indications that he is a Liverpool fan. He'd been with the Reds academy before moving to Goodison Park.
Additionally, he said to Gary Neville on The Overlap that Steven Gerrard, the former captain of Liverpool, was his childhood hero. He has also expressed nothing but praise for Mohamed Salah. Additionally, Gordon disclosed that Curtis Jones, a midfielder for the Reds now, is one of his closest pals.
