Barcelona have reached an agreement with Newcastle United to sign England international winger Anthony Gordon, according to sources. The deal is valued at €80 million and includes a future sell-on percentage for Newcastle.
Deal details
The 25-year-old forward has already agreed personal terms with the Catalan club, and the transfer is expected to proceed pending final formalities. Barcelona will pay the €80 million fee upfront, with Newcastle also securing a clause entitling them to a percentage of any future sale.
Bayern Munich also interested
Bayern Munich had also pursued the England international but were unwilling to meet Newcastle's asking price, allowing Barcelona to move ahead. The German champions had been monitoring Gordon's progress but ultimately decided not to match the €80 million valuation.
Gordon joined Newcastle from Everton in January 2023 for a reported £45 million and has since established himself as a key player for the Magpies. His pace and direct running have made him a standout performer in the Premier League, earning him a call-up to the England national team.
The transfer represents a significant investment for Barcelona as they continue to strengthen their squad under manager Hansi Flick. Gordon is expected to provide width and attacking depth, competing for a starting spot on the wing.
