Paris Saint-Germain have added Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon to their shortlist as they consider a summer overhaul of their attacking options, according to reports in France. The 25-year-old winger, valued by Newcastle at approximately £80 million, is also the subject of a concrete contract offer from Bayern Munich, as first reported by FootballTransfers. PSG’s interest reportedly stems from potential Premier League movement for their own winger, Bradley Barcola, with Arsenal and Liverpool both monitoring the French international. Despite Gordon signing a long-term extension in late 2024 that keeps him at St James' Park for at least four more years, Newcastle’s ongoing requirement to navigate Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) has left the door open for a high-value sale.
PSG and Bayern challenge long-standing Premier League interest
While Liverpool and Arsenal have long been linked with Gordon, the entry of PSG and Bayern Munich shift the landscape of the deal. According to TEAMtalk, PSG view the England international as a versatile replacement should Barcola depart for England. Simultaneously, Bayern Munich have accelerated their pursuit, presenting terms to the player’s representatives to secure a frontrunner position. This interest follows a prolific 2025/26 campaign where Gordon’s goal return reached double figures, significantly increasing his market value from the £45 million package Newcastle paid Everton in January 2023. Newcastle’s stance remains firm on their £80 million valuation, a figure designed to reflect his status as their primary creative outlet alongside striker Alexander Isak.
The PSR factor and Gordon’s career trajectory
Newcastle’s financial constraints continue to dictate their market strategy. Although the club successfully retained Gordon in June 2024 after a proposed move to Liverpool collapsed—reportedly due to Liverpool’s refusal to include defender Jarell Quansah in the deal—manager Eddie Howe has admitted that high-profile outgoings are a necessity. Speaking on the club’s financial position, Howe noted that "trading in and out is going to be essential" to fund further squad development. Gordon himself has previously acknowledged the difficulty of transfer speculation, telling Goal that adjusting his mindset after the failed Liverpool move was "hard." Having now established himself as one of the Premier League's most efficient wide players, Gordon sits at a pivotal juncture where Newcastle must choose between building around him or using his sale to balance the books and refresh a squad nearing its PSR limits.
Competition for the winger is expected to intensify as the summer window nears, with Newcastle's final league position likely to influence Gordon's desire to test himself in the Champions League.
