Not just Anthony Gordon - Report links Bayern Munich with £140m Newcastle United duo
A fresh report claims Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall are also attracting interest from Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Newcastle United defensive duo Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall.
All the talk in recent weeks has centred around Toon winger Anthony Gordon. It is widely reported that Bayern have opened talks with Newcastle over a potential summer swoop.
A litmus test on his future will be whether he plays any part in the clash against Nottingham Forest. Gordon has not featured for the Magpies since the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on April 12.

Bayern Munich target Newcastle United duo?
TeamTalk claim Livramento and Hall are also on Bayern’s radar. Both full-backs have developed into England internationals since joining Newcastle in 2023.
NewcastleWorld understands that Toon chiefs hope to tie Hall - arguably the club’s best player this season - down to a new contract. As for Livramento, attempts to agree to an extension have hit a brick wall.
He will have two years remaining come the summer and is heavily linked with a summer exit. Until now, most of the speculation has involved English clubs, with Livramento’s injury record emerging as a potential cause for concern.
Eddie Howe on summer preparation
Earlier this month, Eddie Howe acknowledged that Newcastle have people in place to deliver an impactful summer. This infamously was not the case 12 months ago.
“I think the structure is in place now,” Howe said. “Last summer was obviously very difficult for the football club. We were going into the biggest window that we’d had in recent memory without the infrastructure.
“The club were well aware of that, it was an unfortunate situation. But now with Ross Wilson’s expertise and experience, and David Hopkinson’s expertise and experience, I think we’re in a much better place to make quicker decisions, better decisions, and conclude deals better and quicker.
“Naturally, I think we’re a lot stronger in that respect now. Whether it’s easier to do deals and recruit players, that’s sometimes unknown. But in terms of our part, I can assure everybody we’ll be a lot better placed this summer.”
