Liverpool’s chances of signing Anthony Gordon have diminished as reports indicate he is nearing a new contract with Newcastle. Under Arne Slot, Liverpool began strongly with three straight wins, including a 3-0 triumph over Manchester United at Old Trafford. However, their momentum was disrupted by a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield, where they dominated possession but failed to convert their chances.
Despite overall solid performances, Liverpool has struggled to consistently threaten on the left wing. Players like Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez have shown potential but have not delivered the reliability of Mohamed Salah on the right.
Liverpool had been actively pursuing Gordon, making multiple attempts to secure the 23-year-old over the summer, but to no avail. With Gordon reportedly set to sign a new contract that would make him Newcastle’s highest earner at approximately £9 million per year, Liverpool’s interest may wane, especially after acquiring Federico Chiesa at a favorable price during the summer transfer window. Whether they will continue to chase Gordon may depend on his future performances.
