Barcelona enter the race for Newcastle’s €80m ace as Bayern Munich move first

Other Premier League clubs are also monitoring developments, ensuring that competition for the winger remains intense.

Barcelona’s admiration for Gordon centres on his direct style, pace and ability to decide matches in wide areas, qualities they believe fit their attacking structure.

However, the financial reality means the club may need to consider alternative structures to make any deal viable.

One option under consideration is a loan-first approach similar to the structure they explored with Marcus Rashford, where an initial temporary move would include an option to buy at a later stage.

Such a deal would allow Barcelona to manage their immediate financial limitations while still positioning themselves to secure the player long-term.

Whether Newcastle would accept those terms remains uncertain, particularly given the level of interest from clubs capable of meeting their valuation outright.

There is also the player’s own perspective to consider, with Gordon expected to assess offers that align with his ambitions to compete at the highest level.

For Barcelona, the interest reflects clear intent, but executing the deal will depend on navigating both financial restrictions and strong competition.

At present, discussions remain exploratory, with the coming weeks likely to determine whether their interest can develop into a concrete move.
