Bayern ready to sign Premier League star—but only if the player publicly declares his desire to join
Bayern Munich has crafted a clear strategy to acquire Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon.
Details: According to Heiko Niedderer, the German giants' management plans a step-by-step approach: first, the club aims to secure full commitment from the player himself. Bayern needs Gordon to confirm his loyalty to the move, either publicly or behind the scenes, with the phrase "I only want Bayern."
Such a show of loyalty would give the Munich side a powerful bargaining chip in negotiations with Newcastle, allowing them to significantly lower the transfer fee.
The key point of this strategy is Bayern's unwillingness to follow the market's lead. The Munich club has made it clear they do not intend to meet the figures currently being quoted in the British media (around £75 million). The German side believes this price is inflated and is ready to use the player's desire as their main argument to force the Magpies to make concessions.
It's worth noting that this season, the English winger has made 46 appearances for Newcastle across all competitions, scoring 17 goals and providing 5 assists. Transfermarkt values the player at €60 million.
Reminder: Dante will join Bayern for the new season.
