The German powerhouse Bayern Munich has set a maximum transfer fee for Anthony Gordon, a rising star from English Premier League side Newcastle United, according to German media reports. The young English forward has been high on the Bavarian club's wishlist for the upcoming transfer window. Reports suggest that Bayern has already reached a personal terms agreement with the 25-year-old player.

However, the main obstacle for the transfer lies in the negotiations between the two clubs. Gordon's current contract with Newcastle runs until 2030, and the English club reportedly demands a staggering €86 million for his release. Bayern Munich's board, however, has assessed this figure as too high and has placed an upper limit of €70 million for Gordon.

Despite Bayern's reservations, the transfer could still move forward if both parties find common ground. Gordon, if he does make the move to Bayern, would significantly intensify the competition within the attacking lineup. Reports suggest he could play as a left-sided striker, competing with Luis Díaz, or as a central midfielder in the midfield and attack roles.

The transfer saga continues as both clubs remain in negotiations. The question remains whether the financial gap can be bridged to make this deal happen.
