Bayern Munich’s interest newcastle unitedAnthony Gordon is serious and could help them further challenge the ‘farmers’ league’ narrative around the Bundesliga.

evening newspaper munich Report today on the potential transfer and how, if it happens, it would be the latest Bayern transfer to challenge the long-established narrative.

Bayern Munich’s interest is increasing

The newspaper reports that Anthony Gordon’s performances for Newcastle United this season have sparked interest from Bayern.

The 25-year-old has been directly involved in 22 goals in 46 games and is the ‘linchpin’ of Newcastle’s attack. He has particularly impressed in the Champions League, with only Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe being more successful.

This has attracted top clubs such as Bayern. Following several other reports in England and Germany, AZ confirmed that Bayern are ‘seriously considering’ the Newcastle star.

They value Gordon’s versatility as he can play in a front three. But there is also a marketing element to it.

Kisan League is no more

As far as the newspaper is concerned, the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United would show how attractive Bayern Munich have become for ‘top international players’.

The Bundesliga will also benefit in terms of marketing. It is often derided as a ‘Farmers’ League’, but Gordon’s arrival will increase the feeling that this is not the case.

Bayern have already released Harry Kane and Michael Olise from the Premier League. He would be the third coming, and proof that the Bundesliga can compete for top names. Both players have hit greater heights since their moves to Munich and Gordon could do the same.

The same can be said about Luis Diaz. He swapped Premier League champions Liverpool for Bayern last summer and hasn’t looked back since. Top players are attracted to the Bundesliga and Gordon would be the latest player to make that change.

The question is what price Bayern is willing to pay. Newcastle are reported to be worth £75 million. This is a top figure for a 25-year-old who, despite good numbers, has often managed to cheat.

But the German champions may consider it a price worth paying. According to Edge, the move has a lot of additional benefits.

Usman reveals huge Makhachev fight update and UFC counter offer against former champion

Kamaru Usman revealed this week that his quest to win another UFC title at welterweight has hit a wall named Hunter Campbell.

However, he has tried to take advantage of his friendship with the Russian and his name as one of the greatest welterweights of all-time to work his way into the fight. However, this doesn’t seem to be working.

During a new edition of their pound 4 pound In a podcast with fellow veteran Henry Cejudo, Usman revealed that he has told the company why he thinks the fight with Makhachev makes the most sense. However, despite the discussions, the former champion claims that UFC CBO Hunter Campbell “feels differently” and has no interest in the matchup.

The comments seem to support recent rumors that Campbell has taken on a larger day-to-day role for the UFC, including fight contracts, than CEO Dana White.

Kamaru Usman offered fight against Dricus du Plessis

Along with the update on the lack of progress towards a fight for the welterweight strap, Usman also offered that Campbell and the UFC approached his pitch with the idea of ​​a different fight and in a different weight class. Usman revealed that he was offered a matchup with former middleweight champion Darius du Plessis.

Although Usman is not against a fight at 185 pounds, he claims he is only interested in “meaningful” fights followed by a title opportunity. The UFC may be unwilling to guarantee a championship match following a win over DDP.

Usman scheduled a short-notice fight at middleweight against defending champion Khamzat Makhachev in October 2023. He lost the match by majority decision.
