Although speculation about a transfer for Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon has quieted down, Liverpool reportedly still have a strong interest in signing him.
There are conflicting reports regarding Gordon's potential move to Anfield, with sources
from both Merseyside and Tyneside presenting different perspectives.
According to Liverpool journalists, the club was presented with the opportunity to sign the winger as Newcastle looked to avoid PSR sanctions. However, talks were halted when Liverpool requested to include Jarell Quansah in the deal.
On the other hand, Newcastle's viewpoint differs, with outgoing director Amanda Staveley stating in an interview with The Athletic that Liverpool were actively pursuing Gordon.
While club sources have not refuted their interest in Gordon, there is a possibility that this deal could resurface, potentially as early as this summer.
Fabrizio Romano has reported on his YouTube channel that Liverpool's interest in the 23-year-old remains strong, as they highly value him internally.
According to Romano, there are internal discussions within Liverpool regarding Gordon's situation, as they believe he has great potential for the club's future.
Recent comments by Liverpool journalist David Lynch to Anfield Agenda suggest that there is a genuine chance of the transfer being revisited later in the transfer window.
Lynch mentioned that Gordon is eager to join Liverpool and with the player having only two years left on his contract at Newcastle, the club may be in a vulnerable negotiating position.
Any potential pursuit of Gordon is said to depend on movements involving other forwards under Arne Slot's management.
