Bayern remains keen on Woltemade, especially since they missed the chance to sign him last summer when he transferred from Stuttgart to Newcastle.
The Germany international began his season strongly with the Magpies but has since experienced a dip in form, raising speculation about a potential return to the Bundesliga.
It seems Bayern could emerge as a leading contender for his signature, prompting questions about a simultaneous move for Gordon from Newcastle as well.
Newcastle Faces Challenging Summer
Newcastle had a tough summer last year with Alexander Isak departing for Liverpool, and the current transfer window is stirring up similar speculations.
Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali are also attracting attention from top European clubs, which could concern coach Eddie Howe and the rest of the squad.
While keeping Gordon may prove to be a challenge, selling all three star players seems unlikely for Newcastle.

Bayern’s longstanding interest in Woltemade could be advantageous, potentially allowing them to make a significant sale and relieve some pressure to offload other key players.
Bayern’s Forward Line Already Strong
It’s important to mention that Bayern does not necessarily prioritize acquiring Gordon, given their already impressive attacking lineup.
Players like Michael Olise are currently enjoying standout seasons, and Jamal Musiala, Luis Diaz, and Serge Gnabry are also delivering exceptional performances.
Though Gordon may wish to elevate his career by moving to a more competitive environment, joining a club like Bayern might mean limited playing time for him.
He would likely have a more significant role at Arsenal, who are in urgent need of strengthening their roster in comparison to current options like Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
