Unexpected blow for Bayern: Anthony Gordon reaches agreement with another club

According to the Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona has become the frontrunner to sign Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon. Reports indicate that the Catalans have taken the lead in the race for the England international. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirms that an agreement has been reached between the player and the club. This is reported by Goal.com .

As a result, two other giants competing for the 25-year-old, Bayern and Liverpool, are expected to miss out. Anthony Gordon prefers to continue his career in Spain. He was impressed by the sporting project presented by coach Hansi Flick, sporting director Deco, and president Joan Laporta.

A recent trip to London by the Barcelona leadership proved decisive. The delegation led by Deco met with the player in the English capital and managed to convince him. According to reports, the English forward's main goal is to play at the Camp Nou stadium.

Official negotiations between Newcastle and Barcelona to finalize the transfer are currently ongoing. The Catalans are acting quickly to outpace their rivals. While Bayern expressed interest in the player several weeks ago, Liverpool had made a serious offer in recent days to strengthen their attack.

Liverpool aimed to refresh their attacking line with Mohamed Salah expected to depart. However, all their efforts seem to have been in vain, as the player has already made his choice in favor of Barcelona.
