Away Toon Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Liverpool turn down chance to sign Newcastle's Gordon IMAGE SOURCE,GETTY IMAGES Image caption, Anthony Gordon came on as a late substitute for England in their goalless draw with Slovenia at Euro 2024 on Tuesday Mandeep Sanghera BBC Sport journalist Published 22 minutes ago 26 Comments Liverpool have turned down a proposal from Newcastle United which involved Anthony Gordon joining the Reds and Jarell Quansah moving in the opposite direction as part of the deal. The Anfield club did not view the deal as being right for them, even though 23-year-old forward Gordon is a player they admire. Gordon, who joined the Magpies in a £45m deal in January 2023, is with the England squad at Euro 2024, coming on as a late substitute in Tuesday's goalless draw with Slovenia in his only appearance of the tournament so far. A player who is also liked by Paris St-Germain, he scored 11 league goals for Newcastle last season and won the club's 2023-24 player of the season award., external ADVERTISEMENT Liverpool did not make any offer and they would not consider losing 21-year-old Quansah. The centre-back became a first-team regular last season and was in the preliminary England squad for Euro 2024, missing out on the final 26-man squad for the tournament. In addition, Liverpool are well stocked in the forward positions with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota among their options. Newcastle have been contacted for comment by BBC Sport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I mean the optics of this and what Gordon must be thinking leave so much to be desired, I can’t believe NUFC are planting these stories to create a narrative if we miss PSR as has been suggested.

That is basically a rehash of what Sky said on air (almost word for word on some bits) so either it's lazy journalism from the BBC's part or the media have been given the same statement/brief.

andyc35i Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Why would we even do this, makes no sense whatsoever other than to be seen to be doing things regarding selling players. There’s just no way we go to Liverpool and say do you want to buy Gordon for £60m plus Quansah - I just can’t see it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Selling this lad would be every bit as bad as the day when Waddle/Beardsley/Gascoigne/Carrol were allowed to leave. In fact it would be worse in some ways, since we are now supposed to be one of the league’s most powerful clubs. Regardless of whether the story has any truth in it, this is a staggeringly bad look for NUFC. Makes you wonder if these owners are now seriously revising their ambitions and intentions.

Nucasol Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Still think it’s paper hype…BUT if the club run with this, there’s some massive questions to be asked of them. Selling your player of the year because you balls up your accounting is tantamount to gross negligence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 It just doesn't seem realistic at all. It's got to be a tactical 'leak' from the club, surely. No way we'd sell Gordon right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
500bhp Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Maybe he's pushing to leave? From his point of view playing for one of the big red clubs is the only way he'll get to start for England 😁. ....I'm taking the piss BTW! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggies Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 We would need to sell him for £70m to £80m to make a decent enough profit to affect PSR. Convinced this is paper talk however if not the club have hugely messed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
