Barcelona Join the Race to Sign Newcastle's Gordon
- Barcelona and Bayern Munich have entered talks to sign Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon, with the La Liga club understood to be in the driving seat after Bayern Munich held initial discussions.
- Transfer speculation surrounding Gordon has intensified following his omission from Newcastle's final matches, despite his pivotal role in the club's 70-year Carabao Cup triumph and Champions League qualification.
- Gordon scored 17 goals this season including 10 in European competition, but failed to feature in Newcastle's final six Premier League games after recovering from a hip injury.
- England manager Thomas Tuchel has included the 25-year-old in his World Cup squad, where Gordon will compete for the left wing spot against Marcus Rashford before the tournament opens against Croatia on June 17.
- Any bidding war between Barcelona and Bayern Munich could see Gordon's price-tag rise significantly from the rumored €75 million, with The Daily Mail reporting Barcelona is discussing an €80 million package.
