BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool officially seal £100 million deal plus add-ons with Newcastle Untied for Anthony Gordon with a sell-on clause profit for Everton worth 10% as clubs finally agree to terms.

Liverpool transfer news as the Reds make a call over Newcastle ace Anthony Gordon, while a reduction in price for a defender could bring them to the table.

Liverpool is ready to start seriously preparing its transfers now that everything is set up. Arne Slot has taken over the top spot at Anfield, and the recruitment department has a fresh appearance.

Although Slot will not be in charge of making transfers, the team will eventually be put together to help the incoming coach achieve his goals. In the meanwhile, potential recruits know for sure who they would play for if they choose to make the move.

The important decisions may now begin to be taken by the Dutchman, Michael Edwards, new sporting director Richard Hughes, and others. According to reports, Anthony Gordon, a star for Newcastle United, has already received a decision.

Arne Slot, the new manager of Liverpool, is sincerely hoping to bring Anthony Gordon back to Merseyside this summer. However, a concerning condition in the former Everton winger’s contract appears to have given Newcastle even more cause for concern.

The former Toffees winger won Newcastle United’s Player of the Year award after having an outstanding first full season at St. James’ Park. He scored 12 goals and provided ten assists. Despite having a wealth of capable wing options at his disposal, England manager Gareth Southgate could not ignore the 23-year-old’s form, and he has forced himself into consideration for this summer’s European Championships.

 

As a result, though, transfer interest in Gordon has grown in recent months and earlier this week it was reported that Liverpool are among the clubs keen on a move for the winger this summer.

To that end, new boss Slot has put Gordon firmly on his list of potential summer recruits at Anfield, with the winger seen as a possible upgrade for the inconsistent Luis Diaz.

Anthony Gordon clause gives Newcastle more concerns

The likes of Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak have both seen speculation grow over their futures in recent months – Arsenal are keen on deals for both players – though it’s understood that Newcastle would side with the reluctant sale of Gordon if they decide to sacrifice one of that trio.

As a result, Liverpool are now giving serious thought to launching a £100m bid to bring Gordon back to Merseyside.

The winger actually started out on Liverpool’s books before moving across the city at the age of 11 to join Everton’s academy.

That move obviously paid rich dividends, with the 23-year-old underlining his qualities in 78 appearances for the Toffees before a £45m move to St James’ Park in January 2023.

However, if Slot gets his way then Gordon’s stay on Tyneside could be cut short after just 18 months, with the player also having supported Liverpool as a boy and idolising Anfield icon Steven Gerrard in his school days.

Now it has emerged that any deal to sell Gordon would see his former side Everton profit with a sell-on clause worth 10% of any future deal, meaning the Toffees could bank an additional £10m on top of the £45m (£40m plus £5m in add-ons) already banked from his sale.

And while such a move could force Newcastle to think twice over his potential sale, they know his exit would not quite prove as financial fruitful as initially expected.
