Liverpool are prioritizing the signing of a winger in the current transfer window following Mohamed Salah's departure. Reports indicate the club has made a strong approach for Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon in recent days.

Gordon is among three winger targets frequently mentioned in connection with Liverpool, alongside Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande. Each player is reportedly valued at close to €100 million. Liverpool, who spent over £400 million during the previous season, are seeking to strengthen their attack after finishing with worse results than in prior campaigns.

As of 27 May 2026, Gordon is widely expected to leave Newcastle United after a turbulent end to the 2025–26 season. Manager Eddie Howe omitted him from the squad for the final six Premier League matches. Despite that exclusion, Gordon recorded 17 goals across all competitions during the season, including 10 in the Champions League. His standout performance included a hat-trick against Qarabağ in the European tournament.

Newcastle United value Gordon at approximately £75 million. However, he is reported to have chosen Barcelona as his preferred destination. Barcelona have entered direct club-to-club talks with Newcastle over a potential transfer. Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, reportedly influenced Gordon’s preference for a move to Camp Nou.

Liverpool remain among the clubs interested in signing Gordon, though their pursuit faces competition from the Spanish side. The club’s efforts to secure a new winger reflect a broader attempt to reshape their attacking options after Salah’s exit. Gordon’s 17-goal season and Champions League experience make him a prominent candidate for teams seeking offensive reinforcement.
