Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon was linked with a move to Liverpool all summer.
The Magpies considered letting Gordon leave the club to resolve their financial problems in the summer transfer window.
The Toon Army were facing problems with profit and sustainability rules and to meet them, they considered selling Gordon to Liverpool.
They later changed their minds and now have no intention of selling the England international winger, but Liverpool are interested in signing him and plan to make a move in the future.
In a bid to pry the Reds away from their star striker, Newcastle United are ready to offer the club a shock deal.
According to the Daily MailGordon will be offered £9m-a-year at St James’ Park, making him the club’s highest-paid player.
He would overtake Bruno Guimaraes as the club’s highest-paid player and the latest contract would tie him to the club long-term.
The Magpies are ready to make a big statement to keep one of their prized assets at the club.
It’s surprising how they considered letting Gordon leave the club in the summer when he was one of their most productive players last season.
The England winger scored 11 Premier League goals and registered 10 assists in a highly successful individual season for the Magpies.
Anthony Gordon is a crucial part of Newcastle United’s attack
His attacking partnership with Alexander Isak makes the Magpies an attacking force to be feared in the Premier League.
The former Everton player was ready to leave the club this summer to join a team playing in the Champions League.
Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in Gordon and this has alerted Eddie Howe’s side to tie the player down to a new long-term deal at the club.
If he does not extend his contract at the club, he is expected to be sold by Newcastle next summer as his current deal runs until 2026.
