Bayern Munich has ended its pursuit of Anthony Gordon after FC Barcelona reportedly paid €24 million in agent commissions for his transfer. The deal with Newcastle United took Gordon's total cost to €104 million, prompting Bayern to step back from negotiations despite having agreed on personal terms with the player. Bayern's longstanding aversion to high agent fees influenced their decision, as they were unable to match Barcelona's final offer of €10 million more than their bid. The outcome leaves Gordon's next destination uncertain following the World Cup.
