Newcastle have no intention of selling Anthony Gordon despite links to Liverpool, with the winger's new contract until 2028 without a release clause strengthening their position. Gordon's recent form, with seven goals in his last 12 games, has attracted attention from higher-placed clubs, but the message from St James' Park is clear.
The Magpies are determined not to be a selling club and view keeping Gordon as a statement of their ambition to compete for Champions League places. The contract extension represents proactive resistance in a reactive market, sending a message to rivals and supporters alike.
