Barcelona have signed Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United and the England winger has signed a five-year contract, the Spanish champions said on Friday.
Financial details were not disclosed, but British media reported that Barca initially offered 80 million euros ($93.14 million) plus add-ons for the 25-year-old.
«He comes to the club after being top scorer at Newcastle United last season and being the player who took the most dribbles,» Barcelona said in a statement.
“Gordon impressed in his three appearances against Barcelona in the Champions League last season.”
Gordon has scored 17 goals for Newcastle in all competitions this season, including 10 in 12 Champions League games.
However, Newcastle struggled to make an impact in the Premier League, finishing twelfth and failing to qualify for European competition.
Earlier this month, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admitted Gordon could play his last game for the club as the winger was linked with Bayern Munich. He said there were “discussions that could potentially take place”.
However, it was Barcelona that wanted to sign Gordon, who is part of England’s World Cup squad.
Gordon signed for 45 million pounds ($60.37 million) from Everton in January 2023 and made 152 appearances for Newcastle, finishing with 39 goals and 28 assists and helping to League Cup success last year to end a 70-year trophy drought.
Gordon’s England teammate Marcus Rashford joined Barca on a season-long loan from Manchester United and helped the Catalan club retain the La Liga title.
Rashford has provided 14 goals and 14 assists in all competitions for Barcelona, who have yet to make his transfer permanent. The Athletic reported that Barcelona have a €30 million option to sign Rashford, but this expires on June 15.
Gordon joins a list of England internationals plying their trade abroad, including Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane, Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham and Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney.
