Gordon heading to Barcelona for medical

Newcastle United's England winger Anthony Gordon will have a medical in ​Barcelona on Thursday before a possible ‌80m euros (USD92.88m) move to the Spanish champions, British media reported.

Sky Sports television showed ​footage of the 25-year-old player ​boarding a private jet and said an ⁠announcement could come on Friday or ​at the weekend.

Gordon has had the best ​season of his career, netting 17 times for Newcastle across all competitions including 10 goals from ​12 games in the Champions League, ​and is in England's World Cup squad.

Gordon still ‌has ⁠four years on his contract, according to media reports, after joining in January 2023 and signing a long-term extension in ​October 2024. ​But Newcastle ⁠have failed to qualify for European competition next season, finishing ​12th in the Premier League.

Newcastle ​manager ⁠Eddie Howe recognised this month that Gordon might have played his final game for ⁠the ​club after Bayern Munich ​expressed an interest, before Barcelona then swooped in.
