Revealed: How Much It Will Cost Man Utd, Liverpool & Man City to Lure Transfer Targets Such as Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali & Tino Livramento Away from Newcastle

Revealed: The Price Tags Man Utd, Liverpool & Man City Must Meet for Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali & Tino Livramento

There is something about a wobbling giant that makes rivals circle.

This summer, the spotlight falls firmly on Newcastle United. After a season that has drifted below expectations, the noise around St. James’ Park is growing louder. Not from the stands — though there has been frustration — but from boardrooms across the Premier League.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City are all monitoring the situation closely. They sense vulnerability. They sense opportunity.

And now, crucially, they know the numbers.

According to fresh reports, Newcastle have effectively drawn their financial red lines. If anyone wants to prise away the Magpies’ crown jewels — from Anthony Gordon to Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento — they will have to pay a premium that reflects both ambition and defiance.

Life After Isak: A Shift in Perception

When Alexander Isak sealed his British record-breaking move to Liverpool last September, it sent more than just shockwaves through Tyneside. It altered perception.

Rivals suddenly believed Newcastle could be destabilised.

The departure — dramatic and late — encouraged elite clubs to think that perhaps St. James’ Park was no longer untouchable territory. If Isak could go, why not others?

That thinking has shaped the narrative heading into the summer window.

Anthony Gordon: £100 Million and Not a Penny Less

Of all the names linked with an exit, Gordon’s has surfaced most persistently.

Liverpool’s interest is hardly subtle. With Luis Diaz having departed for Bayern Munich, the Reds are actively searching for balance and incision on the left flank. Gordon, a former Everton player with Merseyside roots, fits the cultural and tactical profile.

But romance does not reduce the price.

Newcastle would demand £100 million.

Yes, even in a season where Gordon has struggled for rhythm, scoring just three league goals. The club’s stance is strengthened by the long-term contract he signed in October 2024. There is no financial pressure. No ticking clock.

Arsenal and Manchester United have also registered admiration, though whether either is prepared to meet nine figures remains another matter entirely.

For Newcastle, Gordon represents more than output. He embodies energy, resale value, and status. Selling him cheaply would send the wrong message.

Bruno Guimaraes: The Captain’s Valuation

Alongside Gordon in the £100m bracket stands Bruno Guimaraes.

Manchester City’s interest is well documented. Pep Guardiola admires technicians who can dictate tempo and press intelligently. Guimaraes ticks both boxes.

But Newcastle’s captain is contracted until 2029. He has shown little inclination to agitate for a move, and that stability strengthens the club’s negotiating position.

City could test the waters. They may even make an exploratory approach. But Newcastle will not blink first.

It is one thing to admire. It is another to wire £100 million.

Sandro Tonali: A Departure That Feels More Likely

If Gordon and Guimaraes feel protected by contracts and symbolism, Tonali’s situation is more nuanced.

Arsenal briefly considered a January approach after Mikel Merino suffered an untimely injury. The move never materialised, but the interest was genuine.

Tonali’s agent has since hinted that the Italian will assess his options at season’s end. That subtle openness has not gone unnoticed.

Newcastle would expect between £90 million and £100 million.

It is a huge figure, yet one that reflects both his pedigree and market scarcity. Elite central midfielders in their prime are rare commodities. Clubs willing to pay for control often overpay.

Whether Arsenal — or another suitor — are prepared to stretch to that range remains to be seen. But among Newcastle’s stars, Tonali appears the most plausible departure.

Tino Livramento: Guardiola’s Right-Back Dilemma

City’s right-back situation is under review, and Livramento has emerged as a serious candidate.

At 22, he offers athleticism, defensive intelligence and Premier League familiarity. Guardiola values versatility, and Livramento’s capacity to invert or overlap would suit City’s tactical flexibility.

The complication? His reluctance to sign a new deal.

Newcastle find themselves in a delicate position. They do not want to lose leverage, yet they cannot ignore contract realities forever.

Even so, the asking price stands between £60 million and £70 million.

For a player entering a potentially uncertain contractual phase, that is a bold valuation. But Newcastle are determined not to appear desperate.

City are also considering alternatives, including Michael Kayode of Brentford, but Livramento remains high on their list.

Malick Thiaw and the Defensive Market

Malick Thiaw arrived from AC Milan last year and has been quietly outstanding.

Manchester United, in search of defensive stability, have tracked his progress closely. Newcastle’s valuation? Around £80 million.

It is a figure that reflects both performance and scarcity. Elite centre-backs in their early twenties are not easy to source. United may hesitate at that level, but the interest is real.

Woltemade’s Bundesliga Temptation

Nick Woltemade has endured an uneven first season in England, yet suitors in Germany remain intrigued.

Bayern Munich’s previous interest has not vanished. A return to the Bundesliga would cost approximately £69 million.

For Newcastle, recouping such a figure after just one year would represent strong business. For Bayern, it would be a calculated gamble on upside.

Joe Willock: A Softer Stance

Not every departure would trigger resistance.

Joe Willock has slipped down the midfield hierarchy. Crystal Palace explored a move in January but stopped short of formalising it.

Newcastle would likely accept around £15 million.

It feels like a pragmatic exit rather than a painful one.

Lewis Miley: Not for Sale

One name that is emphatically off-limits is Lewis Miley.

After witnessing Elliot Anderson flourish at Nottingham Forest following his departure, Newcastle are determined not to repeat the mistake.

Miley represents the academy pathway. He stays.

Form Versus Speculation

Amid the transfer noise, Newcastle’s immediate concern is performance.

They have won four of their last five competitive matches, including a spirited 3-2 victory over Qarabag. Yet domestically, the picture is less flattering — four defeats in their last five league outings.

Next up: Everton at home.

It is precisely the kind of fixture that demands focus, not distraction. Everton arrive wounded after consecutive league losses, but dangerous nonetheless.

A Defining Summer Ahead

For Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City, the message from Tyneside is unmistakable: if you want our stars, pay elite prices.

Newcastle are not a selling club by design. They are a club in transition, navigating inconsistency while protecting long-term ambition.

The figures attached to Gordon, Guimaraes, Tonali and Livramento are not accidental. They are statements.

This summer will reveal whether rival executives are prepared to test Newcastle’s resolve — or whether the Magpies’ valuations will prove a deterrent strong enough to keep their core intact.

One thing is certain: St. James’ Park will not be raided quietly.
