The Catalan giants have announced their interest after Bayern Munich expressed a clear intention to acquire Gordon&#8217;s signature. Newcastle are prepared to sell to the La Liga champions and also have an option to sign loanee Rashford permanently for \u00a326 million this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Barcelona are also said to have agreed a permanent deal with Rashford on personal terms, but with striker Robert Lewandowski set to leave the club this summer when his contract expires, Barcelona are reportedly looking to make several key attacking signings and are hoping to negotiate a reduced fee with United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Speculation surrounding Gordon, who joined Newcastle from Everton for \u00a345m in January 2023, has been rife for two seasons. His catalog of potential transfer targets extends far beyond just two of Europe&#8217;s top clubs, with Liverpool maintaining a longstanding interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>However, Barcelona have beaten all rivals in signing Gordon and he will soon fly to Spain for a medical check.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>However, talkSPORT claims Rashford remains an option for Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith the two England internationals potentially joining eventually. However, there is little money available and Michael Carrick is already linked with a return to United and has expressed his desire to work with the player.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB! Get all the best sports news and more on our Facebook page<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Gordon has been a pivotal figure in Newcastle&#8217;s resurgence over the past few seasons. His attacking partnership with Alexander Isak, who left for Liverpool in a \u00a3130m deal last summer alongside Jacob Murphy, has turned out to be one of the most eye-catching combinations in the division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">The winger&#8217;s performance was one of the driving forces behind the club&#8217;s historic journey to end their 70-year wait for a major silver medal in the 2024-25 Carabao Cup final. He also contributed to qualifying for this season&#8217;s Champions League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>However, Mr Gordon&#8217;s influence has diminished slightly this campaign as persistent rumors swirl about a possible exit from Tyneside. Despite this, he scored 17 goals, 10 of which were in the Champions League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photo changeSpace\">\n<p class=\"withoutCaption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/6945262.jpg?r=1779907483789\" alt=\"Anthony Gordon (10) of Newcastle United before the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest \" title=\"Anthony Gordon (10) of Newcastle United before the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest \" width=\"590\" height=\"393\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"newsCaption\">Anthony Gordon has been confirmed to join Barcelona. <span class=\"caption\">(Image: Getty Images)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>That tally included a goal against Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbut it was just a consolation at St James&#8217; Park, with Rashford scoring twice on his return to English football.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>With speculation mounting as the end of the season approaches, head coach Eddie Howe opted to leave the forward out of the starting XI after his return from injury, suggesting the club may already be planning for the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>World Cup Legends: The stars of soccer&#8217;s biggest tournament in history &#8211; buy the special edition now<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;Obviously at this stage of the season, some of the things we have to do will be focused on next year,&#8221; Howe said. &#8220;Anthony has just come back from injury, but I think the team has played well in his absence in part looking to the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>He added: &#8220;There is no update from me.
