Newcastle PSR update branded ‘devastating’ after Anthony Gordon offered to Liverpool

Newcastle United’s decision to offer Anthony Gordon in a proposed transfer involving Jarell Quansah to Liverpool has been described as “devastating”.

Chronicle Live understands the Magpies have explored several different avenues to ensure they comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules before the June 30 deadline and it is accepted they will have to trade players to achieve this.

Elliot Anderson has reportedly been offered in a swap deal for Wolves’ Max Kilman and Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga, while Yankuba Minteh, who shone on loan at Feyenoord last season, has been put up for sale by the Magpies.

But perhaps the most shocking player they have offered elsewhere is Gordon, after it emerged he had been offered to the Reds as part of a deal that would have seen England team-mate Jarell Quansah move to St James’ Park.

Liverpool have confirmed they were “approached with a proposal that did not suit us” but reports have suggested talks over Gordon, who has also been linked with PSG, could be reignited this weekend.

The revelation has not gone down well with Newcastle fans, who have criticised the club for giving away one of their best assets to a Premier League rival.

The Magpie Channel tweeted: “It’ll be that Keegan on the steps moment again, Eddie Howe explaining why we sold Anthony Gordon. It would be absolutely devastating.”

Rob, a Newcastle fan, added: “No self-awareness. The fact that they (Newcastle) are even open to this is a disgrace.”

Another fan added: “I would have taken Minteh to Everton or Brighton myself, it would mean we wouldn’t have to sell Anthony Gordon. My stance has changed somewhat if this is the ridiculous situation we really are in. Selling Gordon would be the most sickening blow to #NUFC fans. He is adored here.”

Gordon is currently on international duty with England and is preparing to face Slovakia in the round of 16 of EURO 2024 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on Sunday.
