FC Barcelona is on the verge of securing their first signing for the upcoming La Liga season. The club has reportedly agreed to sign English winger Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United for around 70 million euros, with additional performance-related variables. Gordon, who scored 17 goals in 46 matches for Newcastle last season and has represented England 17 times, is expected to bolster Barcelona’s left flank.
The La Liga champions have successfully fended off interest from Bayern Munich to secure Gordon’s services. The 25-year-old is set to undergo medical examinations and finalize his contract in Barcelona. Both the player and the club aim to complete the transfer before Gordon joins England’s World Cup preparations on June 1.
FC Barcelona’s successful season saw them clinch the La Liga title, with key players like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Raphinha standing out. Coach Hansi Flick’s management, including effective squad rotation, played a crucial role in Barcelona’s triumph. Flick’s contract extension until at least June 2028 further solidifies his commitment to the club’s future.
The 2025-26 La Liga season concluded with Barcelona at the top, Real Madrid in second place, and Oviedo, Mallorca, and Girona relegated. Barcelona’s dominance, coupled with Flick’s strategic decisions, marked a successful campaign for the club.
