Barcelona are very happy with Anthony Gordon and are pleased to have signed him from Newcastle United<\/a> in the summer transfer window, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Gordon<\/a> joined Barcelona from Newcastle in the summer of 2026 for\u00a0\u00a369.3million inclusive of add-ons.<\/p>\n

Barcelona<\/a> had the option to make Marcus Rashford\u2019s loan deal from Manchester United permanent in the summer, but the Catalan giants decided to splash the cash on Gordon instead.<\/p>\n

Rashford helped Barcelona win LaLiga during his loan spell last season.<\/p>\n

Hansi Flick\u2019s side could have signed the England international winger for just \u00a326millon, but they went big on his compatriot and international teammate Gordon instead.<\/p>\n

Gordon has made the left wing his own at Barcelona, providing five assists in seven matches in all competitions for the Blaugrana so far this season.<\/p>\n
