Where Next for Anthony Gordon Amid Barcelona & Bayern Interest?

Anthony Gordon is expected to depart from Newcastle United this summer, as numerous major European clubs are reportedly eager to secure his signature.

Gordon is in high demand, with the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich set to battle it out for the England international. Where is Gordon likely to end up next season?

Memorable Champions League Campaign for Gordon

Gordon had a mixed season at St James’ Park. On one hand, his numbers were excellent, but the attacker was capable of much more. In the Premier League this term, Gordon only managed to net six times.

Newcastle had a solid European campaign until their heavy defeat against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Gordon was United’s standout player in UEFA’s elite club competition, scoring ten Champions League goals.

Ahead of Saturday’s final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, only Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane have netted more Champions League goals than Gordon. The Newcastle man is level with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is set to feature for PSG this weekend.

Who is Leading the Race for His Signature?

Reports today suggest that Barcelona are ready to make a move for Newcastle’s No. 10. The Catalan giants are ready to hold official talks with the Premier League side.

Last week, Bayern looked to be leading the race, with Vincent Kompany a big fan of the England man. Bayern and Barca are the two standout clubs eyeing up Gordon, while Liverpool, Arsenal, and Real Madrid have also been mentioned.

Right now, Gordon’s focus will be on the 2026 FIFA World Cup with England. Thomas Tuchel is a big admirer of the winger, and Gordon will no doubt play a big role for the Three Lions in North America.

Gordon is one of the most exciting wingers in Europe when fit and firing on all cylinders. Newcastle will be sad to see him go, but the Liverpool-born man is destined for the very top.
