Barcelona have taken a significant step towards securing the services of Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, reportedly entering direct negotiations with the Premier League club. The Spanish giants are moving quickly to finalize a deal, outpacing competitors such as Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona’s sporting director Deco has already traveled to the United Kingdom to initiate talks with Newcastle. The player is said to be enthusiastic about the potential move to Camp Nou, which adds momentum to the transfer.
Romano shared on social media that Barcelona are in direct communication with Newcastle regarding Gordon’s transfer. He confirmed that Deco’s trip to the UK was primarily to advance these negotiations. While the player is keen, other clubs, including Bayern Munich and several Premier League sides, remain interested in the 24-year-old attacker.
Gordon’s performances for Newcastle have attracted widespread attention, and his potential arrival would bolster Barcelona’s attacking options under manager Xavi. The Catalan club appears determined to win the race for his signature, leaving Arsenal and Bayern Munich to reconsider their pursuit.
