Newcastle United is preparing for a massive sale, setting exorbitant prices for two of its stars: Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon. Aiming to adapt to the new financial rules being implemented, the club’s management, led by executive director David Hopkinson, is opening the door to deals that could change the team’s trajectory.
According to information from The Telegraph, Newcastle is willing to negotiate both players, but at a price that will make interested clubs think twice. The minimum asking price for each of them is an impressive £100 million. This price reflects not only the talent of the players but also the fact that both have contracts until 2030, providing the club with a strong negotiating position.
Anthony Gordon, one of the most promising young talents in the Premier League, has been linked with a potential move to Liverpool. The Reds, who are looking for a replacement for Mohamed Salah, may be forced to explore other options, as Newcastle will not make it easy for him to leave. Meanwhile, Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali has also caught the interest of giants like Manchester United and Manchester City. However, his high valuation and the associated wages make a transfer to Old Trafford unlikely at this time, especially following the incident related to a betting ban that tarnished his image.
In addition to Gordon and Tonali, Newcastle is also open to letting Tino Livramento leave, as he has shown no interest in renewing his contract, which expires in 2028. The right-back is estimated to be worth around £60 million, which could attract clubs looking to strengthen their defense.
On the other hand, there is good news for Newcastle fans. Captain Bruno Guimarães seems to be on track to remain at the club, despite speculation linking him to Manchester United as a potential replacement for Casemiro. The club is preparing to discuss a contract renewal with the Brazilian international in the coming months, which could give a new boost to his stay.
However, Newcastle’s high valuation strategy for Tonali and Gordon may lead interested clubs to redirect their attention to other targets. It has already been reported that Manchester City is prioritizing an approach for young Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, while Liverpool seems to be considering Michael Olise as their first choice to succeed Salah, with other names like Yan Diomande and Bradley Barcola also being evaluated.
With the Magpies open to sales but demanding exorbitant prices, the situations of Tonali and Gordon may remain in limbo, with both stars continuing at Newcastle beyond next summer unless proposals arise that could make the club reconsider its position. The future of the players and the club is at stake, and the coming months promise to be crucial in determining the outcome of this saga in English football.
