Staveley confirms Liverpool want Gordon as Romano makes Newcastle ‘green light’ claim

Former Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley has confirmed that Liverpool have an interest in buying Anthony Gordon in the summer transfer window.

The Reds are looking for a new winger as new sporting director Richard Hughes looks to give Arne Slot the tools to be successful in his first year as Liverpool head coach after replacing Jurgen Klopp.

Widespread reports claimed that attempted to do a deal before the end of June as Newcastle attempted to sell some players to comply with the Premier League s profit and sustainability rules.

There were claims that interest from and that a move to his boyhood club would be a dream for the former Everton star.

Staveley recently announced her departure from Newcastle and the former Magpies co-owner has revealed the Reds interest in Gordon.

: I knew what was coming in terms of me leaving but the fans and PIF deserved every focus of mine. Had I left before (the PSR deadline) and we’d breached, then that would have been bad. It was very, very difficult, but I was determined to make sure Darren has a clear runway.

My biggest concern was that we’d lose Alex (Isak) or Anthony (Gordon) because Liverpool chased him and both are extraordinary players. Negotiating is tough because you have to pretend it means nothing to you when it means everything.

And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed on Tuesday that interest from Liverpool in Gordon remains a strong interest and he is someone they really rate internally .

:  In the final days of June when they were in trouble with Financial Fair Play, Newcastle were approached by Liverpool for Anthony Gordon. There was an exchange, the player was keen on the move, so at that time Anthony Gordon gave the green light for a potential move to Liverpool.

But Newcastle decided not to accept the proposals. It was just an exchange, just a conversation, not a formal bid. Liverpool wanted to make a proposal but it was not what Newcastle expected for Anthony Gordon.

What I wanted to tell you tonight is that what I’m hearing is the interest from Liverpool in Anthony Gordon remains a strong interest, remains a concrete interest. He’s a player they really rate internally, a player they really like. The name of Anthony Gordon remains high on Liverpool’s list.
