Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon's move to Bayern Munich appears to be nearing completion.
Idman.Biz reports that the 25-year-old footballer has agreed personal terms with the Munich club. According to "Football Insider", Newcastle may demand up to £75 million (170 million AZN) to allow Gordon to be sold.
Bayern is considered a more realistic option for Gordon, who is also attracting interest from Liverpool and Arsenal. According to former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness, Harry Kane's successful performance in Germany may have influenced the player's decision.
Wyness stated that Gordon's move to the Bundesliga would be the right choice for both the player and Newcastle. According to him, the English club will earn a good amount from this transfer and will not strengthen one of their Premier League rivals.
Significant squad changes are expected at Newcastle in the summer. Head coach Eddie Howe is preparing to rebuild the team, and Gordon's departure may be one of the key steps in this process.
The club is also planning changes in the goalkeeper position. There are questions about Nick Pope's future, and Aaron Ramsdale's loan spell is coming to an end. Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown considers Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford a prime candidate for Newcastle.
