Barcelona have been mentioning Anthony Gordon’s name in several meetings over recent days as per Fabrizio Romano
Barcelona have held direct club-to-club discussions with Newcastle United over the possible signing of England winger Anthony Gordon, according to multiple reliable transfer reports from leading football journalists.
The talks are understood to be at an early stage, with Barcelona exploring the conditions under which a deal could be possible rather than submitting a formal bid at this point.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Barcelona have made contact as part of their wider summer recruitment planning, with Gordon among several attacking targets being assessed.
Newcastle United are not actively looking to sell the player and remain firm in their valuation, given Gordon’s importance to the squad and his consistent performances in the Premier League.
The winger is under a long-term contract at St James’ Park, with Newcastle in a strong negotiating position and no pressure to sanction a departure.
Reports indicate that Newcastle would only consider a transfer if an offer in the region of £75 million to £85 million is presented, reflecting both his age profile and development trajectory.
Barcelona’s interest is driven by their search for a dynamic left-sided attacker, with the club looking to add pace, pressing intensity and versatility to their frontline ahead of next season.
However, Barcelona’s financial situation remains a major obstacle, meaning any potential deal would likely depend on player sales, wage adjustments, or structured payment terms.
Other top European clubs, including Bayern Munich, are also monitoring Gordon’s situation, making the transfer race highly competitive.
Despite the growing speculation, no agreement has been reached between the two clubs, and negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks as Barcelona assess their financial capacity.
Newcastle remain calm over the situation and are expected to resist any approaches unless their valuation is met or a significantly improved offer is tabled.
The transfer saga is still at an exploratory stage, but Gordon is increasingly viewed as one of the standout attacking names likely to attract major summer interest across Europe.
