Barcelona have reportedly reached a full agreement with Newcastle United to sign England winger Anthony Gordon in what is being described as one of the club’s biggest transfer moves of the summer.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal has already been agreed between both clubs, with only final formalities remaining before the transfer becomes official.
The 25-year-old winger is now expected to leave Newcastle after an impressive spell at St. James’ Park and complete a sensational move to the Spanish giants.
Reports claim Barcelona submitted an official offer that matched Newcastle’s valuation, leading to the Premier League side accepting the proposal after internal discussions.
Although the exact transfer fee has not been officially confirmed, sources believe the deal could be worth around €60 million including performance-related add-ons.
Anthony Gordon is reportedly scheduled to travel to Barcelona on Thursday to undergo medical tests before signing his contract.
The England international is expected to sign a five-year deal that would keep him at the club until 2029.
The contract is also believed to include a massive release clause reportedly worth around €400 million.
The move marks a major step in Gordon’s career after rising through the ranks at Everton before later becoming one of Newcastle’s most important attacking players.
Under manager Eddie Howe, Gordon developed into a key player for Newcastle, contributing goals, assists and relentless attacking energy.
Last season alone, the winger reportedly recorded 11 goals and 10 assists across all competitions.
Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, is said to be a long-time admirer of Gordon’s pace, direct style of play and defensive work rate.
The Catalan club reportedly sees him as an ideal option for the left wing position amid uncertainty surrounding the futures of some current attackers.
Reports also suggest concerns over injuries and squad depth influenced Barcelona’s decision to push aggressively for the transfer.
Meanwhile, Newcastle’s decision to approve the sale is believed to be connected partly to Financial Fair Play regulations and Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Selling Gordon reportedly offers significant financial relief to the club as they continue balancing spending and squad rebuilding plans.
The Magpies are already said to be considering replacements, with names like Federico Chiesa and Crysencio Summerville reportedly under discussion.
The transfer has already generated huge reactions among football fans online, especially supporters eager to see how Gordon adapts to life at Barcelona.
If completed, the deal would become one of the headline transfers of the summer window.
