MADRID — Barcelona confirmed the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United, for a fee that could rise to 80 million euros ($93 million).
Gordon will sign for “the next five seasons, until June 30, 2031,” Barcelona said in a statement according to AFP.
The 25-year-old winger, who has been named in England’s World Cup squad, is Barca’s first summer signing, as the club looks to strengthen its attack following the departure of its veteran Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.
According to the Catalan press, Gordon’s arrival, as a left winger who can also play centrally, does not rule out other potential attacking signings.
Born in Liverpool and developed at Everton, Gordon joined Newcastle in 2023 for around €50 million.
He faced Barca twice in this season’s Champions League campaign, during which he scored 10 goals in 12 matches.
