Liverpool and Newcastle have held talks over a deal for Anthony Gordon as the latter scramble to meet the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
It's believed that Newcastle need to make sales before June 30 to avoid falling foul of said rules and a potential points deduction. Several players have been linked with transfers in recent weeks but, to date, no significant outgoings have been agreed.
A new report from The Mail has now revealed that Newcastle have 'explored' the possibility of offloading a key asset such as Gordon. Mirror Football understands they approached Liverpool over Gordon but talks over a deal broke down when it was suggested that Jarell Quansah could move in the opposite direction.
While Liverpool are admirers of Gordon, they are unwilling to lose Quansah off the back of the young defender's breakthrough campaign last year.
It's said that the Reds ultimately decided against making an offer after talks with their Premier League rivals due to their stance on Quansah, who they view as a future England international.
Gordon, a boyhood Liverpool fan, is happy on Tyneside and enjoys working with Eddie Howe but the 23-year-old is aware that talks took place. French giants Paris Saint-Germain are also admirers of Gordon, who joined Newcastle in January 2023.
Gordon, who is currently at Euro 2024 with the England squad, won Newcastle's Player of the Year award last term after a strong maiden season with the Magpies, racking up 11 league goals and 10 assists in 35 matches.
Elsewhere, Newcastle are in talks over another swap deal involving Elliot Anderson and Anthony Elanga with a view to bringing the Nottingham Forest winger in.
The sale of Anderson, 21, would count as pure profit given he is an academy talent. Elanga, formerly of Manchester United, made a big impression on Forest after leaving the Red Devils last summer.
Newcastle's need to trade in order to meet PSR rules ahead of Sunday's accounting deadline has also seen Alexander Isak linked with a move. Chelsea have been linked with the Sweden international but it's believed a deal is unlikely given Newcastle's reluctance to part with their star striker.

You are retarded, that’s why you are a step back in your reasoning. It’s nothing to do with Africa or Africans. I believe you were looking for validation and cheap likes and my reply set you back Mr Sportsman, the triggered fool who thinks an entire continent is slow because someone made a joke of his comment. You certainly are a baby, do you mind returning the phone back to the adult that gave you.
That wasn't and am happy to see such a comment it shows that have successsuly made your slow brains explode.

Think before you reply, I commented as a concerned sportsman not as a man utd fan, That's the problem with Africans, if that was the case we couldn't see pundits that are ex Liverpool players doing Man utd matches.

Why does it bother you? Shouldn’t you be thinking for Man Utd?

Am a football fan, and am talking facts, unless you're Liverpool's new spokesperson, I don't where you generate anger from, am not a stupid football fan like many of you that criticise other clubs on foolish grounds, I rother talk what I think is sence. I know after sometime they will say it was a bad idea buying him.

Did Liverpool really need this boy??? thry would have thought twice before decreasing their coach's powers in the transfer market, The board is now looking for English players not even when they may be of less value to the club, I thought they would be looking for a defensive Mf, a left footed Cb, a holding Mf, and a left footed winger.
