Anthony Gordon has officially joined FC Barcelona from Newcastle United on a five-year contract, with Bayern Munich missing out on the signing of the winger.

FC Bayern identified the England international as an early summer target and were understood to have agreed personal terms with him.

However, Barcelona moved ahead in the race after agreeing a fee with Newcastle that the Bavarians were reportedly unwilling to match.

The German champions will now have to turn to alternatives as they look to strengthen their frontline for the 2026/27 season.
