It is now official, Anthony Gordon is going to Barcelona, as Newcastle’s board and their Saudi owners have accepted the official bid.

This deal comes as a major shock, with many predicting Gordon was on his way to Manchester United. But Softfootball can confirm that on Wednesday, 27 May 2026, a €70 million fixed fee plus add‑ons, taking the total package above €80 million, has been fully agreed.
Gordon is expected to travel this week for his medical and contract signing at Barcelona. The move marks one of the biggest transfers of the summer window and a significant statement from Barcelona as they strengthen their attacking options.
