Everton will be wishing for a bidding war over Anthony Gordon this summer, with fresh interest from the continent reported.

The winger made the switch to Newcastle in January 2023, seeing the Toffees bring in around £45million following his departure.

After an impressive stint with the Magpies, earning him a spot in the England setup as a result, German giants Bayern Munich’s interest has been heavily reported over the last month.

In the deal that secured his Newcastle move, a 15 per cent sell-on clause was inserted on whatever they receive above the initial £45m fee.

As a result, Everton will be wishing for a scrap over the winger this summer, and they may just get that as a result of information regarding Barcelona.

Barcelona may just give Everton what they want with Anthony Gordon deal

Everton are in line for a welcome financial boost when Gordon eventually moves on.

Recent reports suggest Newcastle now value the 25-year-old at £80m, with Everton due to receive a percentage of any future sale.

Over the course of the last month, the interest from Bayern has been noted.

Now, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has shared that Barcelona are monitoring Gordon, with his name mentioned in multiple meetings over recent days.

He is said to be high on the list of the Catalan giants and is set for a guaranteed Newcastle exit this summer.

With the injured Raphinha not getting any younger, and the future of loanee Marcus Rashford in doubt, Barca will be in the market for a left-sided attacker ahead of next term.

Despite the Spanish champions being cash-strapped in recent years, they have still been able to throw around their weight in the transfer market, and could give Everton the result that they want this summer.

With more interest comes more clubs to potentially join the race – exactly what the Toffees will be wishing for as they look to benefit from a move.

Will Everton reap big rewards from Anthony Gordon sale?

With the proposed £80m valuation, the Blues would be set to make £5.25m from a Newcastle sale.

While this is hardly a season-defining number, it would be some extra cash in the bank without actually having to do anything themselves.

The difference could be made in just how much he gets sold for.

If multiple clubs were to scrap over the winger this summer, it could see his value continue to increase.

And for Everton, they can sit and watch on from the sidelines, seeing the value of their cash windfall rise.

With the Toffees chasing a return to European football, any added capital will make a difference.
