La Liga powerhouse Barcelona has shifted its transfer focus to acquiring an attacker from Premier League club Newcastle United, with Anthony Gordon emerging as a key target.
Reports suggest that Barcelona is prepared to make a significant effort to bring Gordon to the Catalan capital.
It’s widely acknowledged that Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, and club officials are actively seeking reinforcements for their attacking line ahead of next season.
With Robert Lewandowski’s potential departure and uncertainties surrounding the futures of Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres, Barcelona is looking for versatile attackers who can fit into Hansi Flick’s system.
Following previous links to players like João Pedro and Julián Álvarez, the Spanish champions have now identified Anthony Gordon as a primary target.
According to renowned football insider Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona is facing competition for Gordon’s signature from clubs such as Bayern Munich and others.
Romano reported, “Barcelona are in direct club to club talks with Newcastle for Anthony Gordon. The player’s keen on the move but more clubs are also on it.” This mission was reportedly a reason for Deco’s visit to the UK.
