Barcelona are seeking a new attacker and have been linked with Chelsea’s Joao Pedro, while Anthony Gordon has also emerged as a target. Barcelona have discussed Gordon’s name in multiple meetings over the last few days, with talks described as ongoing. Gordon’s departure from Newcastle is considered likely, and Barcelona have positioned themselves among the frontrunners in a competitive race. Deco’s trip to London included advancing discussions about Gordon, not only Joao Pedro. Gordon is reportedly excited by a move to Barcelona and sees Camp Nou as a dream destination. He is also said to be willing to take a pay cut to help secure the transfer. Barcelona view his dribbling output as matching the profile they want.
"According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have discussed Gordon's name in several meetings over the last few days, with conversations described as ongoing. The player's departure from Newcastle is considered likely, and Barcelona have positioned themselves as one of the frontrunners in what is shaping up to be a competitive race."
"Mundo Deportivo adds further detail, reporting that Deco's recent trip to London was not solely focused on Joao Pedro. The sporting director also used the visit to advance discussions around Gordon, underlining just how seriously Barcelona are pursuing the England international."
"Gordon has reportedly become excited about the prospect of joining Barcelona, with the Camp Nou representing his dream destination despite interest from Liverpool. In a further sign of his commitment to making the move happen, Gordon is said to be ready to take a pay cut to secure a transfer to the Catalan club, which could be a major boost for Barça."
"For Barcelona, a player who averages 1.3 dribbles per game in one of Europe's most demanding leagues fits precisely the profile Hansi Flick and Deco have identified as a priority."
