Fabrizio Romano releases Anthony Gordon update after shock Liverpool talks

Fabrizio Romano has issued an update on reports suggesting Liverpool are discussing a surprise summer move for Anthony Gordon ahead of tomorrow’s PSR deadline.

He’s confirmed that talks have taken place between the two clubs in the last 48 hours, but insists ‘no agreement’ has been reached regarding a transfer fee.

Romano adds that the ‘only way’ that a potential deal will get back on track is if Newcastle agree to drop their asking price, feeling there is ‘no chance’ of a deal being agreed before the June cut-off if we don’t accept a lower fee for the scouse winger.

Speaking on his Youtube channel this afternoon, Romano also had this to say:

“Let me tell you that the interest of Liverpool in Anthony Gordon is absolutely genuine. We had rumours on several clubs for Gordon, I’m told that Paris Saint Germain were offered the possibility to go for him but at the moment they have different targets in that position.

“Liverpool really considered that possibility. They had discussions with Newcastle about Anthony Gordon.

“At the moment there is still no agreement on the value of the player, on how much Newcastle would require but for sure the interest is genuine and what I’m hearing is that the player would be open to a move to Liverpool. So, it really depends on the clubs.”

It’s hard to say what will happen in the next 24 hours after a chaotic few days on the transfer front, but you’d like to think we’ll stand firm and pursue other sales instead.

Romano reports that we prefer to sell the likes of Yankuba Minteh and it’s clear we’ve explored that option after talks with Everton, Brighton and Lyon, while Elliot Anderson has also been offered out during part-exchange talks with Wolves and Nottingham Forest.

🚨🔴 Liverpool appreciate Anthony Gordon, talks took place with Newcastle in the last 48h but NO agreement on the fee/value.

The only way to re-activate the option is if Newcastle drop price… or no chance.#NUFC prefer…
