The race for Gordon: Barcelona has started negotiations, De Co is in England, but there are competitors as well.

Catalan Barcelona has entered into direct talks with Newcastle United regarding the transfer of winger Anthony Gordon. Negotiations between the sports directors have already begun, and the 23-year-old Englishman is open to moving to Camp Nou. This is why De Co is traveling to the UK urgently. His role as sports director is to accelerate the process and finalize the basic terms of the deal.

However, the path to signing a contract won’t be easy. There are many clubs interested in Gordon. Bayern Munich is keeping a close eye on the situation, and several Premier League clubs are willing to include Gordon in their transfer plans. Newcastle, on the other hand, doesn’t want to give up one of its key attacking players at a cheap price. This could lead to a fierce bidding process in the last few days before the deadline.

From a tactical perspective, Gordon fits perfectly into Hansi Flick’s style of play. His explosive speed, ability to move from the flanks to the center, and high intensity in pressing matchups meet the requirements of Barcelona’s current needs. The main issue is finance. The “Catalan giants” estimate Gordon’s value at 70-80 million euros, plus potential bonuses. Barcelona will need to be flexible in terms of payment arrangements in order to compete with European rivals.

The next two weeks will be crucial. If Barcelona can quickly reach an agreement with Newcastle and offer Gordon a clear sports plan, then the transfer is likely to be finalized before the deadline. Otherwise, the club will have to activate Plan B to strengthen its flanks. The transfer battle is heating up.
