"Barcelona" becomes the main contender in the fight for Anthony Gordon
According to information published by Spain's Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona club has become the main contender in the race to sign Anthony Gordon, the forward of Newcastle United. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
At the same time, the Catalans have outpaced other competitors in the pursuit of the English Premier League player and taken the lead in the negotiations. Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that an agreement has been reached between the player and the club.
This is reported by Goal. As a result, two other major European clubs — Bayern Munich and Liverpool — who were also interested in the 25-year-old talent, are expected to be left out of this transfer.
It has become known that Anthony Gordon prefers to continue his career in the Spanish championship. The new sports project presented by Barcelona's head coach Hansi Flick, sporting director Deco, and club president Joan Laporte was very appealing to him.
Barcelona's management's recent trip to London proved to be of decisive importance in this transfer. The delegation led by Deco met with the player's representatives in the English capital and succeeded in convincing him to join the team.
According to the information obtained, the English striker's main goal is to play in the future at the legendary Camp Nou stadium. Currently, negotiations between Newcastle and Barcelona to finalize the transfer are actively ongoing.
The Catalans aim to complete all procedures quickly to completely outpace their rivals. It is worth noting that Bayern Munich from Munich had previously expressed interest in the player a few weeks ago.
Liverpool, on the other hand, recently made a serious offer to him with the aim of strengthening their attacking line. At a time when the probability of Mohamed Salah's departure from Liverpool is high, the club had planned to renew their attack precisely with Gordon.
However, all attempts by the English club appear to have been in vain, as the player has already made a final decision in favor of Barcelona and is preparing to move to Spain.
An official announcement regarding this transfer is expected in the near future.
