Premier League
Liverpool has set its sights on Liverpool's Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United as a strategic position for when Mohamed Salah ceases to be the team's offensive reference.
Faced with uncertainty about the Egyptian winger's continuity, Anfield's club is planning moves for January or the next summer window to ensure an orderly transition. Gordon, at just 24 years old and on the rise, emerges as a high-level alternative to strengthen the English team's attack.
Liverpool's Interest in Anthony Gordon
Liverpool is closely studying Anthony Gordon's profile, aware that Newcastle United will not make his departure easy. Sources indicate that Merseyside club analysts and scouts recently returned to Tyneside to watch him in action.
Liverpool's interest is based on the need to find a replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose future at Anfield is uncertain. The young Englishman has taken on increasing responsibilities at his current club, raising his value. Newcastle United considers him a key player and has made it clear that they will not negotiate at a low cost.
Newcastle United Context and the Operation
At Newcastle United, Anthony Gordon has emerged after the departure of some key players and is now indisputable. The player has been the focus of Liverpool's attention because he meets several criteria: experience in the Premier League, ability to unbalance, and growth potential.

However, the Tyneside entity stands firm: they are not interested in selling unless the offer meets their requirements. Furthermore, financial sustainability rules may force Newcastle to consider sales, which could benefit Liverpool, but the ground is particularly challenging. Reports indicate that the club's valuation for Gordon is high, complicating the push for an immediate transfer.
Mohamed Salah: Reason for the Shift in Liverpool's Attack
Liverpool faces a crucial moment: Mohamed Salah has been the team's savior in multiple campaigns, but his contract and future raise speculations. Meanwhile, the club's management knows they cannot wait indefinitely and is already considering offensive alternatives. Anthony Gordon represents one of the most ambitious options to fill that space when Salah leaves the elite of Merseyside.
Gordon's profile fits Liverpool's philosophy: speed, imbalance, youth. Nevertheless, the replacement of the Egyptian player will involve a high-risk and cost operation, which is why Liverpool is working in advance to have an advantage in the bidding.
A Short or Medium-Term Exit?
Liverpool does not rule out signing Anthony Gordon as early as January if Mohamed Salah is sold or if there is any other movement in the attack. Otherwise, the plan could be activated next summer. The English team evaluates all options and analyzes how to manage the transition without losing competitiveness. The arrival of the young winger would serve to continue Liverpool's offensive project and start a new era after Salah's golden years.
In summary, Liverpool's future in the attacking front is shaping up to be one of the keys to its project. The focus on Anthony Gordon reflects the club's ambition to ensure the transition and anticipate Mohamed Salah's departure. If the operation finds a viable formula, the British club would acquire a top-level asset that could define the next decade at Anfield.
