Signing Newcastle star would be a waste of £100m

Liverpool might flip their consideration to Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon if Luis Diaz leaves the membership this summer time.

The Reds is not going to be breaking the financial institution to signal Alexander Isak and are as a substitute going for Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike. Liverpool are accelerating a transfer to signal the French star for round £87m though Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes will do their greatest to deliver that value down.

Ekitike is bound to be a major improve on the irritating Darwin Nunez though there stays some uncertainty given the Frankfurt star’s lack of intensive expertise working as an elite striker.

Like Nunez earlier than he joined Liverpool, he has just one season with actually outstanding numbers not like Florian Wirtz, who has confirmed throughout a number of seasons that he’s well worth the cash.

And sadly, Gordon falls into the identical bracket.

Liverpool might return for Anthony Gordon if Luis Diaz will get his switch this summer time

In line with talkSPORT chief soccer correspondent Alex Criminal, a transfer to signal Gordon relies upon closely on whether or not or not Luis Diaz will get the switch he’s agitating for.

Criminal reviews: “Each Barcelona and Bayern Munich are eager to prise Diaz away from Merseyside with the latter having a bid of round £60m rejected.

“Whereas Liverpool’s briefing is that Diaz shouldn’t be on the market, he’s pushing for the transfer to Germany and Bayern are able to make an improved provide.

“Liverpool know Bayern have been prepared to pay €100m for Wirtz and if their bid will get anyplace close to that determine, I imagine they might money in.

“If Diaz is offered then Liverpool retain an curiosity in Anthony Gordon having come near signing the England winger from Newcastle final summer time.”

The report additionally names Rodrygo as a possible alternative but it surely’s secure to say the Brazilian can be a way more applicable for the cash Newcastle need for Gordon. A report from Soccer Insider claims the Magpies need no less than £100m for the Scouser.

Frankly, it will be irresponsible to spend a lot cash on a participant that final season offered six targets and 6 assists within the Premier League final season regardless of taking part in 2,446 minutes.

For reference, Darwin Nunez – the participant that Liverpool followers unanimously agree isn’t adequate – acquired 5 targets and three assists in lower than half the sport time.

Gordon is an efficient participant however he’s definitely not a £100m participant by any means.
