Every day there’s a new rumor at FC Barcelona. As usual, the Blaugranas are multiplying avenues in view of the next summer transfer window. Mainly on attack. The Marcus Rashford file is still struggling to settle, while Robert Lewandowski has already said goodbye.
This Wednesday, the newspaper Marca indicates that Barcelona leaders have a new name in mind: Anthony Gordon. Newcastle United have made the decision to sell their player, despite a contract which runs until July 2030, and are preparing his departure, according to journalist Matteo Moretto.
Barça then intends to take advantage of this, and have already made contact with the English team in order to secure the services of the 25-year-old left winger. Deco, the sporting director, made the trip to the Kingdom, with the agreement of its president Joan Laporta and his coach Hansi Flick, all convinced by the relevance of this track.
Barça has priority
It must be said that Anthony Gordon is coming off a very good season with the Magpies despite their 12th place in the Premier League. The striker has scored 17 goals in 46 games this season, and has especially made his mark in the Champions League with 10 goals in twelve appearances including a quadruple against Qarabag in the play-offs.
For the moment, the Englishman has given his top priority to Barcelona, despite interest from other big clubs in the championship, as well as Bayern Munich. Price-wise, you’ll have to break the bank. Mundo Deportivo recalls that Newcastle values it between 85 and 90 million euros.
