Barcelona enter the race for Newcastle’s €80m ace as Bayern Munich move first
Barcelona have stepped up their interest in Anthony Gordon after holding initial talks with the winger’s representatives, although any potential deal remains complicated due to finances and growing competition.
The Catalan club are actively searching for a left-sided attacker ahead of the summer window, with Gordon emerging as a preferred profile within their recruitment plans.
Sporting director Deco is understood to have met with the player’s agents during recent discussions in Barcelona, where the club gathered information about his contractual situation and availability.
Gordon, who is under contract at Newcastle United until 2030, has seen his market value rise significantly, with figures in excess of €80 million now being discussed.
That valuation presents a major obstacle for Barcelona, who continue to operate under financial constraints while attempting to strengthen key areas of their squad.
The Bundesliga side are believed to have discussed the framework of a long-term contract, positioning themselves as one of the most advanced suitors at this stage.

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.
