Revealed: Newcastle were ready to sell Anthony Gordon to Liverpool in shock swap deal as Magpies aim to avoid PSR points deduction

According to the Daily Mail, the Magpies held talks with the Reds over a possible transfer of their star attacker Anthony Gordon. The Merseyside club, however, declined the offer, as Newcastle wanted Jarrell Quansah to move the other way, and the Reds would prefer to retain the defender.

Newcastle are being forced to sell players this summer, due to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. In order to comply with PSR and avoid a potential points deduction they have to make a major sale before June 30.

Other than the English giants, Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on adding Gordon to their squad as they are known to admire the talented attacker. He is currently playing for England at Euro 2024.

After making a cameo appearance in England's 0-0 draw against Slovenia earlier this week, Gordon will hope to make it to Gareth Southgate's starting lineup in their upcoming round of 16 clash against Slovakia on Sunday.
