Barcelona Close In on £70m Deal for Anthony Gordon
Anthony Gordon is on the brink of completing a high-profile switch from Newcastle United to FC Barcelona, with the Premier League winger expected to finalise a £70 million move including add-ons.
The 25-year-old has already travelled to Spain for his medical, and reports indicate that he has successfully passed the checks and signed terms with the La Liga champions.
An official announcement from both clubs is now the only step remaining before the transfer is made public.
Barcelona have moved quickly to secure Gordon’s signature, edging out competition from several European heavyweights after identifying him as a key attacking target for Hansi Flick’s project.
His energy, pressing intensity and direct attacking style are seen as a strong fit for the manager’s high-demand system.
Since joining Newcastle United from Everton in 2023, Gordon has developed into one of the Premier League’s most productive wide players.
He has registered 39 goals in 152 appearances and was central to Newcastle’s recent rise, including their qualification for the UEFA Champions League on multiple occasions.
He also played a major role in ending the club’s long trophy drought, helping Newcastle secure the EFL Carabao Cup in the 2024-25 season.
In Europe this season, he added 10 goals in the Champions League, further boosting his reputation on the continental stage.
The England international is currently part of Thomas Tuchel’s national team setup for the upcoming World Cup, where he is expected to feature prominently as England chase a long-awaited major title.
If completed, the move would represent one of Barcelona’s most significant signings of the summer and a major step in Gordon’s rapid rise to elite European football.
