Barcelona show interest in Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon, with multiple reports indicating the Spanish club has moved into the negotiating phase. The Athletic reports that Barcelona are interested but are not willing to meet Newcastle’s asking price. Newcastle is understood to be seeking a fee around €80 million for the 25-year-old, who agreed an improved contract in October 2024.
Separate reporting cited by Forbes says Barcelona have reportedly agreed terms with Gordon and have made a bid for him. The two accounts align on the existence of Barcelona’s pursuit and a bid being discussed or submitted, but they diverge on the extent to which Barcelona are prepared to match Newcastle’s valuation. Taken together, the coverage suggests talks hinge on price: Newcastle’s reported figure is high enough that Barcelona’s position appears to be that they will not pay that level, at least initially, even as they pursue personal terms and attempt a transfer offer.
