Anthony Gordon to sign Newcastle contract ‘with release clause’ – fans react

Wed 4 September 2024 7:01, UK

Newcastle United are hopeful of progressing in contract talks with Anthony Gordon after he was linked with a move away all summer.

Liverpool were highly interested in signing the England international during the recently closed transfer window but were unable to negotiate a deal with Newcastle.

The 23-year-old remained at St James’ Park for the current season, and the north east giants are now reportedly looking to lock him into a new deal.

The left-winger is under contract with the Premier League giants until 2026, but the club want to extend that.

Gordon has been a regular feature in Eddie Howe’s team since joining in January 2023, going on to play 68 times for the Magpies.

The forward has scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists, breaking into the England squad in the process.

Newcastle United fans expect Anthony Gordon’s new deal to have a twist

Gordon has already opened his account for the new season, having scored once in Newcastle’s opening four fixtures in all competitions.

The Toon Army faithful want to see the winger put pen to paper on a new deal, but fans believe there will likely be a clause added in.

Signed but with a champions league release clause…

£80-90m I’m going for.#NUFC https://t.co/nT6TVhDwey

Given the current state of affairs, I'd expect Gordon's new deal to be a.) signed and b.) feature a release clause.

The latter is probably unavoidable given the PSR debacle & failure to strengthen in the past two windows. #NUFC https://t.co/xUCB0I6SfM

Signs a new deal and I think it’ll contain a release clause in the £80-90m region

Gut feeling is he’ll be a Liverpool player next Summer

His boyhood club, and Liverpool will likely revamp their attack within next 12 months with big hitters likely to leave https://t.co/qq4z2HYd4O

He'll stay. He loves Newcastle, and what Howe & co have done to improve him, and his game.

Agreed. Double what we paid for him to so it makes sense. Absolutely hate to lose the bloke but with these rules, we have to lose somebody along the way ☹️☹️

If they can match Bruno’s old RC that would be ideal

Release clauses seem like the best PSR solution. Player knows their position, club knows possible money coming in and plan ahead. Also means clubs won’t be tapping up players to reduce the fee as much

Always seen as bad things in the past but very useful.

I’m not against a release clause, like Bruno’s as long as it’s Benifitial to the club

Wonder if anyone has negotiated a release clause based on team performance ie team finishing outside Europe then a £x amount release activates. Motivation for club to meet player expectations then.

You think it will have a champions league clause? Short window same as Bruno’s? Surely should be 80+ if we signed him for 45?
