England national team forward Anthony Gordon could not hide his excitement after moving from Newcastle United to Barcelona. The 25-year-old's transfer cost the Catalan club a total of 80 million euros including bonuses. Gordon signed a five-year contract with his new team until 2031 and emphasized that his childhood dream had come true. This is reported by Goal.com .
The winger, who was Newcastle's top scorer last season with 17 goals in all competitions, was officially unveiled on Friday evening. Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Gordon said: "As soon as I knew the Barcelona option was serious, I had no doubts. I have always wanted to play for this club. Barcelona is the biggest club on the planet. Being here is a dream come true. It is a big responsibility, but I am ready for this challenge."
Gordon also expressed his excitement about playing alongside his new teammates, particularly young star Lamine Yamal. According to him, the more high-level players you have around you, the faster you grow. Gordon called the Barcelona players the best in the world and said he is proud to be among them.
This transfer puts an end to the interest from giants like Bayern Munich. The Bavarians wanted to see Gordon in their attacking line alongside stars like Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz. Now, the player will focus his attention on the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with the England national team.
