An internal contact reached for comment also suggested that Barcelona, once again, have been permitted to register new players without tight financial limits, enabling them to pursue the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms discussed, Newcastle accepted an offer of \u20ac70 million plus a further \u20ac10 million in performance-related bonuses. Barcelona are set to move quickly now that the Premier League club has given the green light.<\/p>\n<h2>Role in the squad and background<\/h2>\n<p>Gordon, who has been selected in England\u2019s World Cup squad, is viewed as a key addition to Barcelona\u2019s forward line. His arrival comes as the club looks to reshape the attack after the departure of veteran Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.<\/p>\n<p>Spanish coverage has also suggested that onboarding Gordon as a left winger\u2014while keeping the flexibility for him to operate in more central roles\u2014does not necessarily close the door on additional offensive reinforcements.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Liverpool and developed through Everton\u2019s system, Gordon made the move to Newcastle in 2023 for a fee reported to be around \u20ac50 million. This season, he faced Barcelona twice in the Champions League, contributing heavily with 10 goals across 12 matches in the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona have struck a deal with Newcastle to sign England international Anthony Gordon, the La Liga champions have confirmed, aligning with reports that have circulated in Spanish media.
