Anthony Gordon wants to join Barcelona
Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon has become one of the most sought-after names in the summer transfer market. Despite German giants Bayern Munich viewing the English winger as a primary target, the player himself prefers to continue his career in La Liga. According to reports, Gordon dreams of joining Barcelona. This is reported by Goal.com .
Barcelona sporting director Deco is currently in London to accelerate summer transfer plans. According to Mundo Deportivo, while his visit was initially thought to be for other purposes, Anthony Gordon has now become a top priority for the Catalan leadership. Blaugrana officials see the Newcastle player as a versatile attacker capable of making a significant impact on the team's play.
Meetings in London seem to have positively influenced the player's decision. Gordon is currently keen to be part of the new project being implemented in Catalonia by Hansi Flick. This news came as an unexpected blow to Bayern. The Munich side wanted to acquire the winger in exchange for goalkeeper Alexander Nubel and a certain amount of money.
Liverpool had also eyed Gordon as a worthy replacement for Mohamed Salah. However, despite the possibility of a return to Merseyside, the player prefers the Barcelona option over offers from Liverpool or Bayern. Newcastle does not intend to let their star go for less than £75 million (approximately €85-90 million).
Barcelona is not yet ready to pay this amount, but the Spotify Camp Nou leadership remains optimistic about reaching a mutual agreement. If Gordon continues to push for the transfer and adjusts his salary demands to fit the club's financial situation, the deal could materialize. Barcelona plans to sign the player to a five-year contract, viewing him as a primary candidate to compete with Raphinha on the left flank.
