Liverpool finished fifth in the league, 25 points behind Arsenal, and face major summer work. Mohamed Salah is set to leave, increasing the need for attacking reinforcements. Anthony Gordon has been linked with Liverpool for a long time, despite connections to Everton. Barcelona are reported to be in direct talks with Newcastle for Gordon, with sporting director Deco visiting the UK for discussions. The player is keen on the move, but other clubs are also pursuing him. Bayern Munich are also said to be interested, along with other Premier League clubs such as Chelsea. A potential Liverpool move could upset Newcastle supporters after a prior transfer battle involving Alexander Isak.
"Liverpool have a lot of work to do this summer after a disappointing campaign under Arne Slot. The former Premier League champions ended up finishing fifth this year, a massive 25 points adrift from title winners Arsenal. With Mohamed Salah on his way out of the club, Liverpool need attacking reinforcements, but one transfer target may be out of reach already."
"You may like Anthony Gordon, ranked at no.14 in FourFourTwo's list of the best left-wingers in the world right now, has long been linked with a move to Liverpool, despite his connections to Merseyside rivals Everton. However, Liverpool's hopes of signing the England international have been dealt a double blow recently as two huge clubs look to be making a move to sign the Newcastle United ace."
"That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who took to Twitter/X to report that Barcelona are now trying to secure Gordon's signature this summer. He wrote: "Barcelona are in direct club to club talks with Newcastle for Anthony Gordon. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. "The player is keen on the move but more clubs are also on it.""
"Meanwhile, it's said that German giants Bayern Munich are also very keen on Gordon, and other Premier League clubs - including Chelsea - have the 25-year-old on their radar. If Liverpool were to push ahead with this transfer, it would likely rile up the Newcastle faithful once again. The two clubs were locked in a bitter transfer battle over Alexander Isak last summer, with the Reds eventually luring the striker away from St. James' Park."
