Arsenal and Bayern Munich Set to Challenge Newcastle's Stance on Anthony Gordon

Even after a challenging season, Newcastle's position inside the club is firm regarding not allowing several vital players to leave during the same transfer period.

The Tyneside outfit is dealing with the probable departure of Sandro Tonali, who is drawing keen attention from top Champions League teams in England and abroad, and Tino Livramento has caught Manchester City's eye solidly.

Interest persists around Bruno Guimaraes too, yet the club's choice is to secure the midfielder with fresh terms instead of considering bids.

In this context, the England star Gordon is seen as essential to the team's strategy.

Newcastle is keen to prevent a situation where their lineup loses its main elements, and the internal word is that their forward, valued at £80 million, is off the market.

That said, this view is likely to face growing strain.

Insiders have told Flashscore that Arsenal and Bayern Munich are showing real intent towards Gordon, with one of these teams expected to submit a solid proposal that will probe Newcastle's resolve come summer.

Arsenal regards their left attacking flank as needing enhancement, and Gabriel Martinelli might depart. For Bayern, the arrivals of Harry Kane and Michael Olise serve as examples for Gordon on elevating his performance by stepping away from the Premier League.

Past suitors like Liverpool and Chelsea are still in play, with the sense that either might jump back in should he hit the open market.

Though there has been a consistent idea that Gordon is content and not pushing for a switch, the quality of these prospective clubs poses a unique temptation that might sway him.

Facing one vying for Premier League supremacy and the other ruling the Bundesliga, Newcastle quietly admits that retaining the 25 year old may grow tougher as the upcoming transfer period unfolds.
