Newcastle and Barcelona<\/a> are in advanced negotiations that could conclude with Anthony Gordon exchanging St James\u2019 Park for the Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

For some weeks Bayern Munich had been favourites to sign the England<\/a> winger but now Gordon is on standby to fly to Barcelona on Thursday or Friday in order to complete a medical.<\/p>\n

Although personal terms are not believed to represent a problem, Gordon will only head to Catalonia if the two clubs can agree on the structure of a deal in the region of \u00a370m. Bayern and Liverpool are believed to be waiting in the wings should talks break down.<\/p>\n

With Barcelona\u2019s hopes of making part of the fee appearance-related not satisfactory to Newcastle, there is still some haggling to do. However, the north-east club are anxious to complete a deal before Gordon flies to Florida on Monday to join the England squad.<\/p>\n

Although the transfer window does not open until 15 June, the intention is to complete all the formalities of the potential transfer by the weekend and then rubber stamp the move in the middle of next month.<\/p>\n

Should negotiations with Barcelona collapse, other big clubs are expected to step up their respective interest in a player who can play on both wings \u2013 although Gordon prefers operating on the left \u2013 as well as through the middle.<\/p>\n

Liverpool came close to signing the former Everton forward in 2024 and Gordon has admitted he became \u201cunsettled for a while\u201d when that move foundered.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks it has become evident that a transfer is in both his and Newcastle\u2019s interest. The winger \u2013 whose contract on Tyneside runs to 2030 \u2013 was not involved in the final six games of the season for Eddie Howe\u2019s team, initially with what was described as a \u201cminor hip injury\u201d before being an unused substitute in the closing four fixtures.<\/p>\n

He arrived at St James\u2019 Park for \u00a345m in January 2023<\/a> and was the joint-third leading scorer in this season\u2019s Champions League after scoring 10 goals. Only Harry Kane and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 scored more.<\/p>\n

Although Gordon ended the season as Newcastle\u2019s top scorer in all competitions with 17 goals, he tended to reserve this best performances for Europe and proved inconsistent during a largely underwhelming Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old\u2019s versatility appeals to Barcelona\u2019s manager, Hansi Flick, who seems unlikely to make Marcus Rashford\u2019s loan move from Manchester United permanent. Gordon will, however, face competition from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha on the flanks at the Camp Nou. Flick, meanwhile, still retains the option of signing Rashford \u2013 whose wages are understood to be considerably higher than the sum Gordon is ready to accept \u2013 on a permanent basis for \u00a326m.<\/p>\n

While David Hopkinson, Newcastle\u2019s chief executive, has said the club will only sell \u201con our terms\u201d, he knows he needs to trade to reconstruct Howe\u2019s side in the wake of this season\u2019s disappointing 12th-placed league finish.<\/p>\n

Howe is anxious to avoid a repeat of last year\u2019s longrunning, increasingly acrimonious Alexander Isak transfer saga that only concluded when the Sweden striker moved to Liverpool on last summer\u2019s transfer deadline day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newcastle and Barcelona are in advanced negotiations that could conclude with Anthony Gordon exchanging St James\u2019 Park for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668571,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-668570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668570\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
