Barcelona has officially secured the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. The transfer was completed on Friday, May 29, although the announcement was slightly delayed due to a missing document from Barcelona's side.

Transfer Details

Newcastle United confirmed the transfer in an official statement, noting that Gordon has joined the La Liga champions for a significant undisclosed fee. The club highlighted Gordon's contributions during his time at St James' Park, where he made 152 appearances and scored 39 goals after joining from Everton in January 2023. His performances were instrumental in helping Newcastle qualify for the UEFA Champions League during his debut season.

Impact at Newcastle

Gordon's breakthrough came in his second season, where he scored 11 goals in 35 Premier League matches, earning him a call-up to the England senior squad. He made his debut against Brazil at Wembley and later represented England at Euro 2024, having previously excelled in the under-21 setup, where he was named Player of the Tournament at the 2023 European Under-21 Championships.

Additionally, Gordon played a crucial role in Newcastle's journey to the 2025 Carabao Cup final, contributing vital goals in the semi-final against Arsenal. In his final season with the club, he emerged as the top scorer across all competitions, netting 17 goals, including ten in European competitions. Gordon was initially signed for £45 million, comprising £40 million plus £5 million in add-ons.

Reports indicate that Barcelona has reached an agreement with Newcastle for an €80 million (£69.3 million) deal, structured as €70 million (£60.64 million) plus approximately €10 million (£8.66 million) in add-ons.
