La Liga winger is Barcelona’s primary alternative to Anthony Gordon

Barcelona are looking to bring in a new left winger this summer if they do not find a deal with Manchester United for Marcus Rashford. Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon has been revealed as one of the alternatives that they would consider signing for the position.

United are adamant that Rashford will not leave for less than the €30m buy option stipulated in his contract this summer, but Barcelona have equally made it clear that they do not intend to stump up that money. On Monday night it emerged that Barcelona had met with the agents of Anthony Gordon, the Newcastle United forward also cited as an alternative.

Ez Abde is other leading option for Barcelona

As explained by Matteo Moretto, Real Betis winger Ez Abde is the other name high on Barcelona’s shortlist for the position. The Morocco international is enjoying a fine season in Seville, with 13 goals and 13 assists in his 39 appearances this season. Having sold him to Betis themselves, Barcelona also have a 20% sell-on fee on Abde, which would bring down the cost of the signing a little.
