Harry Kane Influence Boosts Bayern Munich’s Chase for Anthony Gordon
Bayern Munich is seriously considering Anthony Gordon, with Harry Kane reportedly encouraging the move. Gordon is open to joining, but Newcastle United’s €75 million valuation and interest from Liverpool could complicate the deal despite Bayern’s strong interest.
As Bayern Munich prepares for the summer transfer window, the club has set its sights on Anthony Gordon, with Harry Kane reportedly playing a key role in the pursuit. The England captain is believed to have personally spoken to Gordon about a potential move to Germany, and early indications suggest the winger is open to joining Bayern. However, the deal is far from straightforward.
Newcastle United is expected to demand around €75 million for Gordon, a fee that could prove too high for Bayern’s current transfer plans. While earlier reports hinted at figures close to €80 million, even the slightly reduced valuation remains a major hurdle. Another complication is Gordon’s known admiration for Liverpool FC, who could enter the race with stronger financial backing.
This puts Bayern in a challenging position, especially as the club is not keen on overspending despite already having attacking options like Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala. From a tactical standpoint, Gordon’s pace, versatility, and goal threat align well with Vincent Kompany’s system. Still, Bayern’s chances may ultimately depend on negotiations and whether Gordon actively pushes for the move.
