La Liga champions Barcelona have joined Bayern Munich in the race to sign Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon ahead of the summer transfer window.
Barcelona are reportedly monitoring the England international closely and have already opened discussions with Newcastle over a possible transfer.
Despite the club’s recent financial struggles, Barcelona are understood to have funds available for new signings through revenue generated from player sales.
Bayern Munich have also held formal talks with Newcastle regarding Gordon, although reports indicate there remains a significant gap in valuation between both clubs.
Newcastle chief executive David Hopkinson previously insisted the club would only sanction player sales on “our terms”, underlining the Magpies’ strong negotiating position.
