Newcastle Were Ready To Sell Anthony Gordon To Liverpool

Newcastle were prepared to sell Anthony Gordon to Liverpool this week to comply with financial regulations, but negotiations fell through.

Liverpool admire Anthony Gordon, but the proposed deal, which included defender Jarell Quansah heading to Newcastle, was not satisfactory.

Liverpool sees Jarell Quansah as a future England international and did not want to lose him. Additionally, Liverpool already has strong depth in wide areas.

While the club might have considered a different package, they did not make an offer after initial discussions.

Anthony Gordon, currently with England at the Euro 2024 tournament, might have had a medical in Leipzig if there had been progress.

Newcastle needs to sell before June 30 to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules, or risk a Premier League points deduction. Although reluctant, selling Anthony Gordon was considered as an option.

Despite being happy at St. James’ Park and enjoying working under Eddie Howe, Anthony Gordon was aware of the discussions.
