FC Barcelona are continuing to show serious intent in the transfer market this season, with the Catalan club now reportedly closing in on a major deal for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, valued at over €70 million.
According to reports, FC Barcelona and Newcastle United have reached an initial agreement over the transfer fee, while the player has also agreed personal terms with the Spanish club.
The reports further suggest that Gordon is expected to undergo medical tests in Barcelona before completing the move, indicating that the deal is now in its final stages. Barcelona have been monitoring him for some time due to his ability to operate on the wings and provide attacking pace.
One of the main reasons Barcelona are interested in Gordon is his high intensity, speed in attack, and versatility across multiple forward positions. Head coach Hansi Flick believes the player can add more depth and energy to the attacking unit, as well as serve as a quick alternative to players such as Raphinha.
For Newcastle United, the decision to sell Gordon appears to be part of a broader plan to reinvest heavily in the squad, especially after a season of inconsistent results.
However, although the agreement appears close, final steps such as medical checks and contract signing are still required before an official announcement can be made.
What is clear is that Barcelona are not holding back, as they aim to build a long-term squad built on pace, strength, and quality, with Anthony Gordon emerging as a key part of their new project at Camp Nou.
