It is time for Newcastle United to show ambition. Selling one of the best players is not the right way to go if we want to become the best team in England and Europe.
However, often, we will have clubs circiling around our best players thinking they can sign them easily.
But, this time, the Magpies may have a fight on their hands this summer to keep hold of one of their brightest talents.
After a strong season that saw the Magpies lift the Carabao Cup and finish fifth in the Premier League, several players have attracted attention from top clubs across Europe.
With Champions League football returning to St. James’ Park, the club is preparing for a busy summer both in terms of incomings and potentially some big-name exits.
One name that keeps coming up in the Newcastle transfer news is a key player who was central to Newcastle’s success last season.
Liverpool eyeing Newcastle United star as Luis Diaz replacement
According to Teamtalk, Liverpool are keeping their interest “alive” in a potential move for a Newcastle star.
Their plan is reportedly tied to the future of Luis Diaz, who has been linked with a big-money move to Saudi Arabia or a switch to Barcelona.
If Diaz leaves, Liverpool will look to bring in a Premier League-ready replacement. The player Liverpool are keeping tabs on is Anthony Gordon.
The England international, who grew up a Liverpool fan, has once again found himself linked with a move to Anfield. It wouldn’t be the first time either.
Last summer, there were whispers of interest, though that time, it was said Gordon had been offered to the Reds rather than the other way around.
Gordon has grown into one of Eddie Howe’s most trusted players. He brings pace, energy, and directness to Newcastle’s attack something that’s hard to replace.
While there’s no doubt the club would demand a hefty fee, Liverpool’s interest could test Newcastle’s resolve once again.
With Newcastle back in the Champions League and looking to push on, keeping hold of players like Anthony Gordon will be key.
But in modern football, nothing is ever simple, especially when top-six rivals come calling.
