- Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon linked with Bayern Munich
- Bundesliga giants could eye Aston Villa alternative
- Magpies set £75 million asking price
Newcastle United could be handed breathing space for the future of Anthony Gordon after fresh reports suggested Bayern Munich are considering a move for another Premier League star.
The Bavarians have been heavily linked with Gordon in recent weeks, with speculation growing over a possible summer approach. However, sources now claim that Bayern have a concrete interest in Aston Villa talent Morgan Rogers, potentially shifting focus away from the Newcastle winger.
Bayern Munich eye Aston Villa man Morgan Rogers
Rogers has enjoyed an outstanding rise at Aston Villa, developing into one of the Premier League’s most exciting young forwards. Comfortable on the wing, in the No 10 or as a second striker, the England international offers the versatility Bayern admire.
While the Newcastle star remains highly rated, Rogers is younger, physically strong and is coming off another excellent campaign, having made 33 appearances and 14 goal contributions. With Bayern expected to strengthen their frontline this summer, the Villa star has reportedly emerged as a serious option amid claims of ‘concrete’ interest by Football Insider.
Could Bayern cool Anthony Gordon interest
Gordon had been strongly linked with a move to Munich, with several reports claiming the Bavarians viewed him as an ideal fit due to his pace, directness and the ability to play across the front line. Newcastle value him highly and would demand a high transfer fee.
If Bayern now prioritise Rogers, pressure could ease on the Magpies heading into the summer transfer window. Gordon remains a key player for Eddie Howe’s side and losing him would be a significant blow.
At only 25, the winger still has a high potential and remains a big part of Newcastle’s long term plans, despite claims the club could sell for £75 million.
Newcastle United handed breathing room
With Bayern now turning their attention to the Villa man, Newcastle could have a breather going into the transfer window. Rather than being forced into a major summer battle, the Magpies may now have a clearer path to keeping Anthony Gordon and building around him next season – should that be the club’s desire.
Although Bayern’s interest may not be over entirely for the Newcastle United winger, Rogers becoming a priority for the German giants will come as welcome news for the Newcastle faithful still backing Gordon.
