Reports suggesting Liverpool are preparing a €90m offer for Anthony Gordon have sparked excitement — and debate.
There is no doubt Gordon has developed into a dangerous Premier League attacker. His pace, pressing intensity and direct running would immediately add energy to Liverpool’s frontline.
But is he worth that kind of money?
The Case For
At 23, Gordon is entering his prime years. He understands the demands of the Premier League and has improved his output season after season. His work rate off the ball fits perfectly with the high-pressing style Liverpool want to maintain.
There’s also the emotional connection — a boyhood Liverpool supporter returning to Anfield. That narrative writes itself.
And crucially, Liverpool’s attack has looked blunt at times this season. A dynamic wide player who runs at defenders could change that.
The Case Against
€90m is elite-level money.
For that fee, expectations shift. Gordon wouldn’t be a promising addition — he would need to be a transformational one.
Is he a guaranteed 20-goal winger?
Does he elevate Liverpool into title favourites?
Or is that price inflated by Premier League premiums?
Liverpool must be certain.
The Bigger Picture
If the Reds are willing to invest €90m in one attacking player, it signals a shift in strategy. This wouldn’t be a squad addition — it would be a marquee signing.
And that brings pressure.
Liverpool have made big attacking signings before that paid off brilliantly. But every major fee carries risk.
If the reports are true, the club now faces a defining decision: back Gordon as the future of the frontline — or look elsewhere.

No it does not, Liverpool bought Wirtz, Ekitike & Isak at the start of the season – all for around or more than that sum.
Its not really a tough decision .
He says the rumours are rubbish and he wants to stay at Newcastle.
So no decision to make
