According to Sport, Gordon will arrive in Barcelona at 2:20 PM local time today.
It is reported that Gordon is very close to becoming a new Barcelona player. The English winger will arrive in Barcelona today at 2:20 PM on a private plane from Newcastle to undergo a medical examination and finalize his move to the Catalan club.
The transfer is in its final stages, and the club internally regards the deal as almost complete. In fact, club president Laporta hinted during a farewell dinner with Dani Olmo's agent that the signing is very close to being officially announced. Now, only the final formalities remain before Barcelona officially confirms the player's arrival.
This transfer has become one of the fastest-moving deals in recent transfer windows. Just a few days ago, Bayern was considered the most likely team to sign him, while Liverpool had also firmly entered the race. However, a key meeting changed the situation, and Barcelona's contact with Gordon's team ultimately turned the tide, moving the deal in Barça's favor.
Romano previously reported, and as Sport confirmed through airport sources, the player has booked a private jet and will fly to the Catalan capital today. The plan is clear: a quick meal upon arrival, followed by a trip to the hospital for a medical examination, a necessary step before signing a new contract.
Although this winger deal is almost complete, Barcelona do not intend to stop there, and the next few weeks are expected to be very busy in the transfer market. While multiple sources suggest that moves for João Pedro and Álvarez have been put on hold for now, the club remain optimistic about bringing in another world-class player.
This will depend on the significant player sales Barcelona plan to complete during this summer transfer window, as those departures could create room for more major signings.
