Bayern will sign Premier League star if he publicly states he wants to join.

Bayern Munich is actively pursuing Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon, employing a strategic approach to secure his transfer. The German club’s management, as reported by Heiko Niedderer, is focusing on gaining the player’s commitment before entering negotiations with Newcastle. They are seeking a clear indication from Gordon, either publicly or privately, of his desire to join Bayern, emphasizing a need for him to declare, “I only want Bayern.”

This commitment is seen as a crucial leverage point for Bayern, potentially allowing them to negotiate a lower transfer fee with Newcastle. The club has explicitly stated that they are not willing to meet the inflated valuation currently suggested in the British media, which is around £75 million. By leveraging Gordon’s expressed intentions, Bayern hopes to persuade Newcastle to lower their asking price.

Bayern’s approach reflects their reluctance to follow market trends in player valuations. The club believes that the rumored transfer figures do not accurately represent Gordon’s worth and aims to utilize his commitment as a key argument during negotiations.

In the current season, Anthony Gordon has made a significant impact at Newcastle, appearing 46 times across all competitions, scoring 17 goals and providing 5 assists. Transfermarkt has valued the player at €60 million.
